As this nation found out from the Elections Day count and the recount exercise conducted at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, 460,352 or approximately 99.1% of them successfully completed valid votes while 4,213 or approximately 0.9% of them saw their votes rejected for a variety of reasons by the GECOM staff under observation by the relevant stakeholders.

It has become apparent that the only reason Mr. Mingo chose to alter the vote count of the PPP/C by decreasing their tally by 3,847 valid votes (see table – Column J less Column I) was to give a fraudulent advantage to the APNU+AFC at these elections.

During that process, the GECOM staff counted, ascertained, and verified the votes from the 2,339 ballot boxes and the totals were compiled on Statements of Recount, which were then aggregated into ten District Tabulation Certificates authenticated by the GECOM staff.

However, what has happened since that recount exercise is that the CEO of GECOM unilaterally chose to abrogate the Constitution and the Representation of the People Act (ROPA) to firstly invalidate 275,092 valid votes (Column A less Column C) on June 18, 2020, and then again on June 23, 2020, he attempted to invalidate 115,844 valid votes (Column A less Column D).

It is clear as day that the CEO of GECOM has chosen to do his own thing with a national process and in so doing has chosen in his hallucination to annul the Constitution, the Rule of Law, the work conducted by hundreds of Guyanese and non-Guyanese in that 34 days recount exercise and most importantly to actively engage in electoral malpractice and voter suppression which is a criminal act.
