Guyana’s VP Jagdeo Slams Norton on claim of Electoral Victory

Vice President Dr Bharrat Jagdeo on a social media platform “The Guyana Dialogue” on Thursday evening May 12 slammed the claim of Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton (of the PNC) that he was in possession of original SoPs (Statements of Poll) that showed the APNU led coalition won the March 2020 elections. The program was hosted by social media personality Shameeza Ally and moderated by former UG lecturer Dr Tara Singh with Dave Narine as a commentator.

The VP said Mr. Norton should not be taken seriously as he noted that not even leading PNC and AFC officials made such a claim. “They never stated they were in possession of SoPs that showed they won”. He added: “The APNU and PNC when they were in government assigned an insignificant role to Norton. So he should not be taken seriously”.  Jagdeo also reminded viewers that Norton was part of the rigging machine during the 28 years of the PNC and of the attempt to rig the 2020 elections.

The VP made the comments when asked by the moderator, Dr Tara Singh, if he wished to respond to Norton’s statement that he (Norton) was in possession of original SoPs showing the coalition won the 2020 elections. The Vice President responded: “I do not want to contaminate your new diaspora program by talking about Norton because he is an insignificant figure who is not taken seriously. Since you, Dr. Tara (raised the issue, let me make the following comment. ‘“Norton was part of that PNC structure, albeit a junior one at the time that wholly embraced the rigging ethos and philosophy of the PNC. His behavior and comment are not strange. He was nurtured in PNC. He played a role in a junior level in the 28 years of PNC and rigging is part of DNA to stay in power. In last five years of PNC, he was placed in a position of insignificance because the leadership did not think he had anything useful to contribute. In 2020, he was a central figure of the rigging. He tried to defend the indefensible. He is devoid of facts. He is delusional of realty. He claims that the donor reports stated that APNU won. He is devoid of realty. Every donor report said PPP won the elections, which is opposite to what he claimed’.”

The VP added: “Norton owned up to something that neither Granger, Ramjattan, Nagamootoo, Patterson. Harmon, Trottoman, nor others made claimed to. They never said they had SoPs showing they won the elections. None of them said they had SoPs in their possession showing victory. Only fraudulent SoPs can show PNC won. Norton will have no credibility unless he produces the SoPs which he says shows the APNU won”.

The VP continued: “Norton will continue to operate around fringes. He says and does outrageous things,” says the erudite VP. Ho continues, 

“His threats don’t worry the PPP. We are battle hardened. We fought rigged elections and criminal outfits and violence. We are resilient. We are not intimidated by his statements”.
