Elections in Guyana are  always attended by unique drama, if not at the beginning, then at the end. Where else in the world would Russian journalists be accused of rigging the elections by manipulating figures on computers while armed with lead pencils and writing pads? Where else in the world would a President agree to a recount and then remain silent while a senior member of his party challenges the decision in Court? Where else would members of a governing party, during a recount of the ballots challenge, without evidence, the bona fides of tens of thousands of voters who were registered and voted under the most stringent conditions and then declare that the Opposition Party rigged the elections? Where else in the world would a governing party, which has the power to compile an electoral list before elections, complains after the elections that a “bloated” list facilitated the rigging of the elections by the Opposition? Where else in the world can a neat political trick of the victim be accused of being the perpetrator be tried?
