New political party A New and United Guyana (ANUG) has challenged President David Granger’s labelling of the expired voters’ list as “bloated, expired and corrupt,” saying that the legal process in place to add newly qualified voters and remove the dead has worked.
The party made its case yesterday in a statement in which it also suggested that the only practical solution to an expected continuing impasse over the appointment of a new Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) would be to have President Granger select one of the 18 nominees who were previously submitted to him by Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo.
In its statement, ANUG noted President Granger’s comments in light of the finding by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) that last December’s vote on the no-confidence motion against the government was valid.
