Commentator Ralph Ramkarran yesterday suggested that the ruling PPP/C consider the creation of a new national register by house-to-house registration in order to “eliminate what would be a major source of distraction during the election campaign”.
In his column in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Ramkarran, who is a member of A New and United Guyana (ANUG), also suggested that non-residents who wish to register can be accommodated on a separate list. He said a window of time now exists to start the process which can be closed in a few months.
“The PPP would therefore be distracted during the election campaign by having to explain why the voters’ list is so large in comparison with the resident population. It would therefore be useful to consider the creation of a new national register by house-to-house registration in order to eliminate what would be a major source of distraction during the election campaign,” Ramkarran said in his column yesterday.
