BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Friday 19th June 2020) — Opposition Leader Dr. Denzil Douglas has identified observant voters — not just party workers — as being among those who have provided information to support the party’s allegations of unfairness during the 2020 general elections.
“From what we are hearing from the workers and from not even those who were workers but those who were voting, who may not be affiliated with the Labour Party, have made it absolutely clear that something went wrong during the conduct of this particular election,” he remarked on a recent edition of ‘Issues’ on Freedom FM.
Dr. Douglas said the type of irregularities observed show that matters “must have been deliberate when persons who are activists can handle the ballot boxes on the morning as if they are officials of the government, officials of the electoral system, officials under the commands of the Supervisor of Elections. Then we know that something must have been sinister and wrong.”
“This party is too deeply entrenched in the annals of the history of this country in terms of its stance that it has taken for over eighty years to ensure that our right to vote is not only sustained but that there be free and fair elections which are also free from fear,” the former prime minister added.
