A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition members who are encouraging Guyanese to congregate at polling stations after voting should be arrested as they are encouraging the breaking of the law, according to Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo.
At a press conference on Thursday, Jagdeo, who is the General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), said that he hopes the Commissioner of Police takes note of statements made as he believes that they are urging persons to break the law. He did not say whether he, or any member of his party, has reported any of these statements to the police.
Several coalition members, during rallies, have called on supporters to remain at polling stations to safeguard ballot boxes. These persons include Minister of Public Health and Chair of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Volda Lawrence.
