GUYANA’S opposition will come to Britain later this year to warn of government moves to “steal” the 2020 election.

The socialist People’s Progressive Party (PPP) announced over the weekend that it is mounting an international campaign against President David Granger’s choice of new electoral commission chairman.

Mr Granger, who heads the People’s National Congress-led coalition government, appointed retired justice James Patterson as chairman of the Guyana Electoral Commission (Gecom) on October 19, ignoring three lists of 18 candidates provided by parliamentary opposition leader leader Bharrat Jagdeo.
