(Demerara Waves) The opposition A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change (APNU) on Friday signaled strongly that it would be registering its objection to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) cleaning up the voters’ list by holding a claims and objections period.
APNU General Secretary, Joseph Harmon expressed strong concern that GECOM Chairman, Retired Justice Claudette Singh had refused to meet with the General Secretary of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Amna Ally to discuss the opposition coalition’s concerns.
“It’s only a mad person, who will done one thing twice and expect a different result; that the Claims and Objections period produced an official list of electors that had over 660,000 persons out of an estimated population of about 785,000 persons so if you are going back again with that same list on the same process of claims and objections, you are likely to have a number that is higher than 660,000 persons,’ Mr. Harmon told a news conference.
