Although they contested the March 2020 elections, executive member of the United Republican Party (URP), Rawle Aaron said he was prohibited from entering polling stations on elections day and was forced to view polling statements after they were placed outside following counting.
“I was debarred from visiting some polling stations by mostly APNU+AFC supporters who claimed once you are representing another political party, you would not be able to enter,” Aaron told the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into the March 2020 elections.
In his sworn testimony, Aaron identified Sophia and Diamond as the two areas which URP representatives were unable to enter even though they had accreditation badges.
