Two years after the APNU+AFC’s blatant attempt to rig the March 2020 general elections, Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton offered to provide the government with Statements of Poll (SoPs) that would purportedly show a victory for the coalition. The offer was made as Norton engaged Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo in a rare occurrence at the European Union (EU) organised Europe Day reception held at the Georgetown Club on Camp Street on Monday evening. Jagdeo laughed during the “political banter” as he dismissed Norton’s offer to produce the SOPs as “gaff”. Jagdeo, in turn, told Norton that he would only engage him seriously if he would provide the SoPs. The People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) had released their SoPs days after the elections which showed a victory for Irfaan Ali and the PPP/C. A recount of the votes several weeks later also confirmed that the PPP/C had won the elections.
