As per paragrah 2, how can Llewellyn John be a GGG City Councillor and a member of the PNCR Region Four Executive? And as per the last paragraph, can Green be readmitted to the PNCR and still contest the mayoral seat as a GGG representative? The ned for a purge of our politics is greater now than ever! 2. EXTRACTION: "The recent amendment of the Local Authorities Election Act also allows the minister to unilaterally order the polls at any time for mayor, deputy mayor or chairman or deputy chairman of a local democratic organ...It is almost certain that he will order the holding of polls as the administration has long expressed dissatisfaction with Green’s stewardship of the municipality." Isn't this is keeping with the pattern of unilateralism we see emerging in the Jagdeo administration? The administration does not respect the citizens of Georgetown enough to allow the staging of constitutionally overdue LG Elections, but since it does not like Hammie Green, it decided to use its Parliamentary majority to empower the LG Minister to unilaterally stage elections whenever he wants to. This is Burnhamism all over again! 3. EXTRACTED: "Clarke yesterday explained that in principle, the PNCR supports the holding of annual polls for the posts, in keeping with the provisions of the Municipal and District Councils Act, Chapter 28:01." Annual polls? Are LG Elections staged annually or are the 'annual polls for the posts' mentioned here restricted to the Georgetown Cuty Council that allows for the rotation of persons sitting in the mayoral seat? All because of a struggle for political power, the people of Guyana, but especially the residents of Georgetown are being made to suffer. It is not just Hamilton Green who must be singled out as incompetent; so must the PPP and the PNC. They are all blame worthy for the fiasco playing out. 1.

They are grabbing positions for themselves. Look at what Corbin has been cooperating with Jagdeo on: recall bill because of challenges from within his own party; mayoral elections to get rid of Hammie because he is not in league with Corbin. Nothing in the interest of the country. This idiot is destroying the party so he can be leader and make money and live large as opposition leader....the PNC supporters are no less dotish than the PPP's. I truely believe that the real destroyer of the PNC was Hoyte. maybe he despised Burnham. he has destroyed everything of Burnham's making....even in death with his anointing of the dumbass Corbin infront of Trotman, who incidentally sided with some youngsters who challenged Hoyte, as leader.
