In a second and direct statement, the Private Sector Commission this afternoon called on the PPP/C to accept the results of Monday’s general elections and to pave the way for the transition to a new government.
The statement comes amid growing national and international concern that the party was refusing to recognize the result even though it has presented no credible complaints of irregularities.
The PSC statement follows:
The Private Sector Commission, in light of new allegations by the Peoples’ Progressive Party/Civic, wish to reiterate our full confidence in the Guyana Elections Commission and their adherence to the law and procedures.
We have no material information to indicate that the results as released by GECOM will change based on allegations by the PPP/C.
We are therefore asking that the PPP/C accept the results and commence with transitioning to the new government for the benefit of all Guyanese who are yearning for normalcy to resume.
The business community is at a standstill and this prolonged process is creating damage to the economy and the citizenry.
