Firsthand accounts of the plans to derail the 2020 general and regional elections continue to be detailed as the Commission of Inquiry continues public hearings. On Thursday, Sasenarine Singh, a supernumerary agent for the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) during the elections took the stand to give his account of the events that transpired. He spoke of how Clairmont Mingo, the Returning Officer for Region Four in the March 2, 2020 General and Regional elections, had attempted to declare the results for his region without the verification process to reconcile the Statements of Polls (SOPs) for the electoral district being completed. The Commission also heard how the legal process to verify the SOPs was deviated from when pre-prepared spreadsheets were introduced to reconcile the SOPs that political parties had in their possession but displayed numbers that were inconsistent with those on the SOPs
