PPP renews call for Surujbally to go

The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday once again protested outside of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) headquarters over its claim that the 2015 general elections were rigged and to call for Chairman Dr Steve Surujbally to go.

The protest, which was led by PPP/C Member of Parliament Neil Kumar, started after 12 pm and saw about 30 supporters bearing placards and chanting, “Who rigged the elections? Gecom! Who must go? Surujbally!”

Some of the placards read, “Cheated, not defeated,” “PPP defends 23 years of gains for Guyanese,” “Steve, it’s time to leave,” and “Surujbally must go, he can’t count properly.”

Kumar told the media that they were protesting because the elections 2015 were rigged and they were demanding a recount.
