APNU+AFC supporters gathered yesterday  near to the Guyana Elections Commission in defiance of COVID-19 protocols and paid little heed to police attempts to clear the area for a smooth flow of traffic.

The supporters chanted for the swearing in of incumbent President David Granger and marched up and down New Market Street in the paraphernalia of the APNU+AFC election campaign.

When Senior Superintendent and Regional Comman-der of Region 4 (a) Phillip Azore and ranks of the police force attempted disperse the gathering from the middle of the road this seemed to rile the crowd up.

“We ain’t moving! We fighting fuh we rights”! they screamed.

The protesters later moved to various parts of the city.
