Guyana Presidential Election Data Shows Opposition Leader Ali Wins Recount
GEORGETOWN (Reuters) - Preliminary data published by Guyana's elections commission shows that opposition candidate Irfaan Ali has won a recount of votes in March's presidential election following accusations the tally was manipulated.
President David Granger had claimed victory despite observer groups and diplomats from the United States and the European Union saying there were irregularities in the count.
While Guyana's election commission has yet to officially declare results, initial data shows Ali's opposition PPP party secured enough votes to win 33 seats in the 65-seat legislature.
Granger's APNU+AFC party secured enough votes to take 31 seats.
The 40-year-old Ali is expected to be sworn in as president.

Damn.
@FAH1223 you still working on this? Seems like prospects of ethnic violence will be huge with the election stakes this high.
I know a breh who worked with my job as a field coordinator for a project we had down there the last couple years. He's in the youth wing of the PNC which is Granger's party. He was the reason I got meetings with the government and the Minister of National Security,
Khemraj Ramjattan who's the 2nd VP.
Breh was very vocal on Facebook which a lot of Guyanese use. Wild stuff
But the opposition clearly won the popular vote and now has a 2 seat advantage to take over the government.
It's going to be interesting to see how antagonistic they're going to be toward the Venezuelan migrants as the current government has been very accommodating.

I think the opposition (PPP) were planning to have another look at the oil deals ... I just checked and it seems all of the deals except Exxon.
"The PPP’s platform pledged to “immediately engage the oil and gas companies in better contract administration/re-negotiation.” Other companies exploring off the South American country’s coast include Britain’s Tullow Oil, Spain’s Repsol SA and France’s Total.
“Exxon is a different case,” Ali told Reuters after a campaign rally in the western Essequibo region, where thousands of red-shirted supporters listened to him and his allies promise to use oil revenue to lower taxes, raise pensions and wages, and help struggling sugar and rice farmers.
“Exxon was a pioneering investment,” Ali said. “But those that came after that time they were not pioneering, so they have to be examined in totality.”"

Mottley: Guyana Election Has 'Not Portrayed Our Caribbean Region in Best Light' - The St Kitts Nevis Observer
The Honourable Mia Mottley was sworn in as Barbados’ eight prime minister May 25, 2018.
STATEMENT by the Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Honourable Mia Amor Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados on the Electoral Crisis following Guyana’s General and Regional Elections 2 March 2020
“It is more than 100 days since the people of Guyana went to the polls. And yet there is no declared result. From the very beginning, we have been clear and said consistently that every vote must count and every vote must be made to count in a fair and transparent way.
Regrettably, we have seen a level of gamesmanship that has left much to be desired and has definitely not portrayed our Caribbean region in the best light. This is definitely NOT our finest hour and we MUST NOT shy away from that reality.
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is concerned at reports that the Chief Elections Officer has submitted a Report to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) which is contrary to the directions given by the Commission and which does not reflect the results of the recount process as certified by the very staff of the Guyana Elections Commission and witnessed by representatives of the political parties.
Indeed, these numbers and the certification of them were also witnessed by our CARICOM Observer Team. They travelled to Guyana (in spite of the pandemic and the risk to themselves) and they scrutinised the recount process.
The CARICOM Observer Team was of the unshakeable belief that the people of Guyana expressed their will at the ballot box on March 2 and that the results of the recount certified as valid by the staff of GECOM led to an orderly conclusion on which the declaration of the results of the Election would be made.
Therefore, we must ask – on what grounds and by what form of executive fiat does the Chief Elections Officer determine that he should invalidate 1 vote, far less over 115 000 votes when the votes were already certified as valid by officers of the Guyana Elections Commission in the presence of the political parties.
We must remind all that If there is any evidence of fraudulent or improper conduct then there is a clear and well accepted route to deal with these matters. It is through an Election Petition to an Election Court.
Any attempt to provide numbers different from those certified by the staff of GECOM has left many in shock and wondering what next will happen to frustrate the will of the Guyanese people.
The role and focus of political parties must be useful and not obstructive in embracing and promoting the clear and expressed will of the people. When we confuse and frustrate that will, is when we begin to sow the very seeds of discord and acrimony that we are sworn to dissuade and discourage.
The Community holds the strong view that no voter must be disenfranchised in determining the credibility of this or any election. It is this commitment to a fair and transparent political process that led us to send 2 Electoral Observation Missions – one for the Elections and one for the recount. In addition, 4 Prime Ministers accompanied me to talk to both sides and to urge patience especially after the death of 1 person.
The Community thanks patience of the Guyanese people and thanks you.
As you await the finalisation of this process, we urge again that you be patient and that you be committed to the fact that no electoral process can replace the life of any Guyanese. There must be room for all regardless of who wins and who loses.
I assure you that the Community remains committed to the people of Guyana and remains resolute that the report of its Observer Mission was very clear in its conclusions as to the will of the Guyanese people as reflected in the recount which they monitored.”
