City Chamber becoming concerned over results impasse

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry says it is becoming deeply concerned by the apparent refusal of the one of the main political parties to accept the results of the 2015 elections.

In a statement today, it did not name the party but it is the ruling PPP/C which is the only group that has not accepted the result.

The Chamber statement said that “all the observer missions, both local and international, have deemed the elections to be free and fair. GECOM, sometimes to the agitation of sections of the population, also went to great pains to ensure that all the results published were accurate and beyond question.

“The uncertainty created by this state of affairs has caused business, productivity and the entire country to grind to a halt.  As a nation we cannot continue to suffer because of the machinations of parts of our political establishment.

“We therefore urge all parties accept the results of the elections. There is a legal recourse available for all those who are dissatisfied with any part of the electoral process.”
