Break-in of ballot boxes storage a clear design to prevent a recount
The People’s Progressive Party/Civic is flabbergasted by the on-going efforts by certain forces to
interfere with the integrity of the 2011 elections material and vital evidence should there be either a
recount or even a forensic audit which the party is advocating.
...
The shocking discovery today that three containers, located at Coldingen, ECD which were holding
ballot boxes were breached is most disturbing. The PPP/C has always maintained that it remains
unopposed to a total or partial recount of the ballots given our firm view that there was orchestrated
misconduct at several polling station and divisions.
It must be noted that the PPP/C was prevailed upon to withdraw its request for partial recount as the
opposition had claimed that would delay the announcement of the preliminary results. This request was
made by the PPP/C in light of certain facts and activities that took place and affected votes which were
cast for the PPP/C .
We view this break-in of the ballot boxes as a planned effort by certain political forces to prevent a
recount given the suspicions and evidence of collusion to cheat the PPP/C of a clear parliamentary
majority. We have also noticed an unprecedented feature i.e. the use of military-type planning and
operations by these elements who seemed bent on frustrating and even undermining the democratic
process in Guyana.
The PPP/C expects that the GECOM leadership and the law enforcement authorities will move
resolutely, in apprehending the perpetrators and get.
Further the leadership of the PPP will deliberate on this and other unnerving evidence that pointed to
a clear conspiracy to cheat the PPP/C out of government . We intend to consider all options on going
forward.
