Dear Editor,

I wish on behalf of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) to congratulate the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission, Dr Steve Surujbally, on the albeit belated recognition that the Official List of Electors used in the 2006 elections was bloated in excess of some 100,000 names.

If only Dr Surujbally had relied less on his highly paid experts from abroad and paid more attention to the reports pouring in from opposition scrutineers, there would have been no need to raise up the cry “No Verification No Elections!”

Yours faithfully,
Desmond Trotman
For WPA Executive Committee
