For
Immediate
Release
President
Ramotar
is
totally
out
of
line
The
AFC
has
noted
with
total
disgust
the
recent
comments
by
President
Donald
Ramotar
accusing
the
AFC
and
APNU
of
rigging
the
2011
Elections
and
campaigning
along
racial
lines.
This
is
totally
unbecoming
of
the
President
and
is
designed
to
destabilise
the
political
dispensation
that
the
electorate
voted
for.
It
is
a
slap
in
the
face
for
all
those
who
took
the
time
to
go
out
and
vote
on
Polling
Day
2011.
The
electorate
and
all
the
people
of
Guyana
know
that
the
entire
elections
process
was
controlled
by
the
government.
The
PPP/C
had
the
greatest
number
of
polling
agents
and
other
staff
out
on
polling
day,
how
could
the
AFC
rig
the
elections?
The
AFC
considers
it
totally
ridiculous
that
President
Ramotar
would
point
to
racial
campaigning
during
the
elections.
The
electorate
knows
full
well,
those,
who
over
the
years
have
campaigned
on
the
race
card.
On
the
morning
of
Saturday,
January
26,
2008,
gunmen
stormed
into
the
small
village
of
Lusignan,
Guyana
and
ruthlessly
murdered
eleven
persons,
including
five
children.
Five
families
were
affected
by
the
massacre
The funeral of the late Minister of Agriculture Satyadeow Sawh, his brother Rampat Sawh and sister Pulmattie
Persaud.
Tuesday April 25th 2006
It
is
clear
that
President
Ramotar
does
not
intend
to
honour
the
will
of
the
people
as
demonstrated
by
their
votes
at
the
last
elections.
The
PPP/C
excesses
of
the
past
and
rampant
abuse
of
power
make
it
difficult
for
them
to
relax
their
stranglehold
on
power.
They
clearly
fear
the
effectiveness
of
this
new
political
dispensation
and
see
themselves
being
forced
to
answer
to
the
people
and
confirm
with
the
Constitution
of
Guyana.
This
is
alien
to
the
PPP/C.
The
AFC
calls
on
President
Ramotar
to
apologise
to
the
electorate
and
fully
retract
his
statement.
