Founder of the Grenada Christian Political Party (GCPP) Derick Sealy has urged Grenadians to boycott the next general election as he believes that the electronic voter identification card system is the “mark of the beast” as prophesied in the Bible.

“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,” said Sealy.

Sealy, a retired trader well known across the island for his sea moss drink, is yet to identify like-minded individuals as candidates in 14 of the 15 constituencies.

He noted that if his party was to win the next general election—that is constitutionally due by May 2018—the party will end electronic registration in all its forms and return to the old format.

Besides the electronic voter card, Sealy says his party will also eliminate 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,” said Sealy, who contested the 2008 election as an independent candidate in the St George's South constituency and received four votes.

The GCPP is one of four small political organisations actively campaigning for a seat in the 15-member Parliament.
