Berbice Football Association 3rd Vice President Philip Carrington has questioned the basis behind the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Electoral Committee barring the Guyana Police Force (GPF), Western Tigers, Santos, and West Demerara from voting at the elections on Saturday, noting that decision can be interpreted as prejudice.
This was disclosed during an exclusive interview with Stabroek Sport. According to Carrington, “Why are you saying these clubs are not in good standing but are playing in the Elite League? Where were they allowed to be in the Elite League and not in good standing with the federation? That shouldn’t happen, and now you want to debar them, which shows a suspicion of bias because you believe that you [Forde] might not get the votes from them and that they might be seen as anti-Forde. Why debar them from voting if you are preaching about free and fair elections?”
