Jagdeo calls for District Four result to be discarded

Clairmont Mingo

General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday called for the Declaration of Results from District Four to be discarded since its contents have been “discredited”.

“[Clairmont] Mingo’s declaration can no longer be held in abeyance,” Jagdeo argued during a virtual press conference.

He contended that after a recount of about 15% of ballot boxes, the Statement of Polls (SOPs) in the possession of his party match the Statement of Recounts (SORs) generated from the National Recount. Specifically he maintained that the SOPs from Region Four which his party made public in March match the SORs generated with “small adjustments”.
