Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton on Tuesday conceded that the voters’ list used in the 2015 general and regional elections, which saw his party elected to government, was indeed bloated but argued that the present list is far more bloated.
“[The] 2015 list had problems, but it was not as bloated as 2020 and 2025, if it continues like this, will be far more bloated than 2020 [and] 2015 [and] all others lists…let us not forget we [APNU+AFC] believe the list was bloated and though we won 2015 we had begun to clean the list in 2019. So, the question to me is an unfair question in the sense that we had shown from the inception that we will clean the list. We need a clean voters’ list because we believe only a credible list will produce credible results,” he said.
Norton made the comment while being grilled by reporters on whether the APNU+AFC will be contesting the March 13, 2023, Local Government Elections (LGE).
