Statements of Poll (SoPs) for the country’s largest voting district, Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) were today handed over to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
This was confirmed by reliable sources close to the ongoing investigations into electoral fraud committed during the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections.
On May 27, Chief Justice (ag) Roxane George ordered the release of the documents to the Police and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to facilitate the police investigations.
DPP Shalimar Ali-Hack, SC, and Commissioner of Police Nigel Hoppie had filed an application requesting certified copies of the Statements of Poll (SoPs) and Statements of Recount (SoRs).
As part of the hearing of APNU+AFC’s election petition #88, which was subsequently thrown out, Justice George had ordered the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to hand over the original copies of the SoPs and SoRs to the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Judicature, Sueanna Lovell, for safekeeping.
