The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has claimed that there is  “deliberate sloth” in the recounting of District Four ballots and suggested that a recently promoted work station supervisor is acting in concert with the incumbent to further slow that process.

They have also called out the Guyana Elections Commission for “preferential treatment” offered to President David Granger during a visit on Sunday to the Arthur Chung Convention Centre (ACCC) where the recount is ongoing.

In a letter yesterday to the GECOM Chair Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh, PPP/C Election Agent Zulficar Mustapha demanded that the Chair assure him and his party that the promotion of Information Technology staffer Enrique Livan was not related to a visit to the tabulation centre by Granger.
