The NDC of Whim/Bloomfield was one which made headlines after a PPP supporter filed a petition to remove the names of 50 backers on the AFC nomination list.
The supporter, Safraz Bheekam, contended the names were “fraudulently” affixed to back AFC candidates in the LGE.
However, the matter was dismissed by Justice Navindra Singh in the New Amsterdam High Court.
Justice Singh stated after the investigation was conducted by the Guyana Police Force and he found no evidence to convince him that the nominators were forced to sign the list.
