‘I have never rigged an election in my life’ – President

President David Granger last Friday dismissed suggestions that in keeping with his commitment to the ideals of the late president and founder of the People’s National Congress Reform’s (PNCR) Forbes Burnham that elections could be rigged.

“I have never rigged an election in my life. I have no intention of ever doing so,” Granger said during a press conference even as he expressed ignorance that rigged elections were an ideal of Burnham.

He made these comments after being asked to respond to some who say that his commitment to the ideas and ideals of Burnham could see a return of rigged elections which were a feature of the PNC between 1978 and 1985.
