The petition stated that the unrest threatened, intimidated and created fear and tension, which in turn “rendered it impossible for polling and counting agents, duly appointed candidates to the poll and elections agents to carry out their duties and functions properly”.The petition further said that Persaud had been in contact on a number of occasions with different Commissioners of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).
