DEAR EDITOR,
I applaud President Granger for agreeing to a recount of the ballots in order to settle the issue of victor in the elections. The country is at a standstill and the coronavirus pandemic needs urgent attention to spread its curb.
The number of cases in Guyana keeps climbing. The World Health Organization says between 15K to 20K could be infected. The election matter needs immediate resolution so that a legitimate government can proceed to address this grave threat to the population.
Brief comments of individuals close to President Granger were shared with me, that he advised them to inform GECOM that he is supportive of a recount of ballots. All the courts have ruled that a recount is allowed according to the law.
President Granger is in favour of a recount because he does not want anyone to question the legitimacy of his Presidency, if indeed he had won, according to Mingo’s magical count. GECOM has the power to execute the recount. It should carry out its responsibility without further delay.
The behaviour of staff at GECOM, the hardliners in his party, Mingo, and Lowenfield have embarrassed the President; hence, the President’s approval of a recount.
The President must publicly support measures to ensure a fair tabulation of SOPs and/or the ballots, especially of Region 4. Besides agreeing to Caricom observers, he must call for other international observers to monitor the recount. The OAS has agreed to send resources and observers to help with the process. The Commonwealth and Carter Center have also agreed to send observers. GECP, and the President should accept their offers of goodwill.
Thank you, Mr. President, for supporting a transparent recount!
Yours truly,
Dr. Vishnu Bisram
