Witnesses Testify as Guyana’s 2020 Election Fraud Trial Continues in Georgetown

During cross-examination in the 2020 election fraud trial, police handwriting expert Corporal Ameer Mohamed admitted he had no data on the conditions under which disputed signatures were made, even as he relied on “natural variation” to explain major differences. Defense lawyer Nigel Hughes argued the report was based on subjective opinion, not verifiable forensic evidence, after Mohamed could not produce lab notes or identify the pen used.

A prosecution handwriting expert told the Georgetown court that signatures on passport applications said to be from Volda Lawrence matched a signature on a disputed Form 24 linked to Guyana’s 2020 Region Four election declarations. The testimony is central to the case alleging nine people conspired to alter the count and falsely favour APNU/AFC over the PPP/C.

In the trial over Guyana’s 2020 elections, GECOM IT manager Anneal Giddings testified that 19 people handled Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield’s Statements of Poll before he received them, while admitting gaps in authorisation and server security. He also said he shared the server password and transported it in his car. The evidence raised fresh questions about how electoral records were protected during the disputed vote.
