Kervin Crawford, Election Agent of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), said, today, “So far we’re having a fair turnout”.She added that the party encountered some hiccups in the morning. One involved a Presiding Officer,Throwback Jerseys, Mrs Pamela Mootoo, who was fired on the spot by the Returning Officer, Alfa Mohammed for “deliberately issuing electors with tendered ballots. Those ballots would not be counted”, she said.Mootoo gave ten voters tendered ballots.Crawford went on to explain that a tendered ballot is issued if “somebody come and behave bad and you want to get rid of them,NFL Jerseys Cheap China, you give them a tendered ballot”.Mootoo was the presiding officer at a polling station at Eversham, Corentyne.“It was [quite] a scene so the Returning Officer intervened and she was dismissed on the spot,Brad Richards Red Wings Jersey, for not observing protocols on the Elections Act”.This situation was repeated at the Glasgow Primary School where the Returning Officer, Parvattie Ganga Persaud, issued voters with nine tendered ballots. She too was fired on the spot.Crawford added that yet another hiccup was that another person,China Jerseys Cheap, Cornell Mearz, of Stanleytown,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey, New Amsterdam, who wanted to vote at the Overwinning Primary on the East Bank of Berbice “by proxy for another person.”However the proxy did not assent to any such request,Andre Branch Dolphins Jersey, so when the person turned up his name was already scratched off. He appeared to have voted. “It means the PPP was forging people’s signature on proxy certificate”, she added.“We expect some more hiccups which we would not disclose at this time”. Crawford also dispelled allegations of APNU’s supporters “intimidating PPP supporters” in the New Amsterdam Multilateral School Compound.“That is all false and we reject such a statement”. |
