Joint Statement: Guyana Has Had a Free and Fair Election

I read in the Guyana Chronicle that Dr. Peter Ramsaroop is calling for the supporters of the PPP/C to take the streets to protest the election results..

Ramsaroop said in his statement “I support the party’s call for a full recount and encourage other supporters of the PPP/C to come out in numbers and demand fairness.  It is time we take the streets. We should not be bullied by any one.,”

I extend my congratulations to President elect David Granger, Prime Minister Elect Moses Nagamootoo and the people of Guyana. It is a day filled with happiness for Guyanese who have spoken by way of the ballot boxes to elect a new government.
