The founder of the Grenada Christian Political Party (GCPP) has urged people to boycott the next general election, describing the electronic voter identification card system as the “mark of the beast”.
Derick Sealy, who is yet to find like-minded individuals to stand for his party, attributes his stance on a biblical prophecy.
He said: “I am calling for the Grenadian people to boycott that elections in their tens of thousands by not going to the polls and vote, sending a message to those in charge that the cards they are giving the people are the mark of the beast."
The GCPP will end electronic registration in all its forms if it wins the next election, Sealy added.
The general election is due to be held by May 2018.
Sealy contested the 2008 election as an independent candidate in the St George's South constituency, receiving four votes.
As well as turning back the clock on voter cards, Sealy said his party will get rid of National Health Insurance.
“We will no longer register our people in the multipurpose registration system, we will return to the old ways, this thing is a new phenomenon, it's very new but we have lived hundreds and thousands of good years on Earth before this came in.”
The GCPP is one of four small political organisations actively campaigning for a seat in the 15-member parliament.
