This large grouping (which includes all the contesting parties, local and international observers) has provided videos and other evidence that shows how Mingo added votes for APNU+AFC and reduced the votes cast in favour of the PPP/C.

The APNU+AFC knows that if it continues, some of its supporters will refuse to accept the results from the recount and join in the call for fresh elections by the party.

All that GECOM is required to do is compare the Statements of Poll (SOPs) and Statements of Recount (SOR) with Mingo’s declaration.

I am sure that if they do this, it will confirm that Mingo’s declaration cannot be used to determine the winner of the elections but the official documents they have: the SOPs and SORs.

Once the winner of the elections is appropriately determined, GECOM should launch a forensic audit to investigate the claims by the APNU+AFC.
