Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman yesterday lauded elections commissioner, Vincent Alexander for speaking out on the count fiasco in 2011 that nearly erroneously handed the PPP/C a parliamentary majority.
Speaking on the 2011 elections exposé by Opposition-appointed Guyana Elections Commission commissioner Alexander, Trotman said, “I am glad the truth has been revealed even though quite late.” Alexander made the revelations in a letter in yesterday’s Stabroek News.
Trotman said, “When I read the letter what struck me is that it was the first time in so many years I had read something that touched the soul of the nation. The letter brought a level of decency into politics that is needed.”
Trotman believes Alexander’s revelation can make him a national hero. “It is an outstanding statement that will have a watershed effect on Guyana for many years. It is not about a seat but about a politician willing to stand for what is right and just,” he said.
