Attorney General Anil Nandlall has addressed serious concerns to international observers and the Guyana Police Force regarding recent statements made by opposition leaders Aubrey Norton and Azruddin Mohamed, suggesting they may not accept the results of the upcoming elections.

In a statement released Tuesday night, Nandlall highlighted that both Norton, the Leader of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), and Mohamed, who has recently launched his WIN party and is under U.S. sanctions, have indicated they would only recognize election results that favor their parties.
“Mr. Norton has repeatedly stated that if APNU does not win, he will not accept the results. Mr. Mohamed has made similar declarations,” Nandlall noted. “Such statements are dangerous and serve as threats to our democracy.”
The Attorney General confirmed that he has formally communicated his concerns to international observers and the Police Commissioner, urging them to take swift action where necessary to uphold the rule of law.
Nandlall emphasized the opposition’s troubling history of rejecting election outcomes, recalling the unrest that followed elections in 2020, 1997, and 2001. “Violence and disruption accompanied each instance when results were not accepted,” he asserted.
He also dismissed the opposition’s claims of election rigging, reiterating that the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has consistently respected electoral outcomes, even in defeat.
“We cannot allow individuals to instill fear among their supporters by declaring they will not accept election results if they lose. That is a recipe for instability,” Nandlall warned, calling for a commitment to a peaceful electoral process.
