1. (U) The Guyana Elections Commission announced the official
results of the August 28 national and regional elections
yesterday evening - the result: the People's Progressive
Party/Civic (PPP/C) in a landslide. With 338,839 total votes
cast, the ruling PPP/C received 183,887 (54.6%) votes, the
People's National Congress Reform (PNCR) 114,283 (34%),the
Alliance for Change (AFC) 28,336 (8.4%),the Guyana Action
Party- Rise Organize and Rebuild (GAP-ROAR) 4,249 (1%),and
The United Force (TUF) 2,694 (.8%). Under the Largest
Remaining Hare (LRH) formula for determining the distribution
of seats in Parliament, the PPP will receive 36 seats, PNC 22
seats, AFC 5 seats, GAP-ROAR 1 seat, and TUF 1 seat.
Although the PPP garnered a higher percentage of the vote
this election (54.7%) versus the 2001 election, the actual
number of votes received by the party fell by more than
25,000 (209,031 v. 183,887).
