Govt. nominated GECOM commoners request time to study CCJ judgment

Georgetown: In a further act to delay the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) declaration, APNU/AFC nominated commissioners caused Thursday’s meeting to be postponed requesting time to study the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).

Government Commissioners Desmond Trotman, Vincent Alexander and Charles Corbin

The meeting will now be held on Friday by Justice Claudette Singh, Chair of GECOM.

Opposition nominated GECOM Commissioner Sase Gunraj wrote on his Facebook page that “apparently” Commissioners from APNU+AFC “need an opportunity to study the (CCJ) judgement!!!”

Gunraj expressed frustration and asked: “Hasn’t this country and its people suffered enough?”

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) on Wednesday said that it is for GECOM to ensure that the Chief Elections Officer Keith Lowenfield submits a report in accordance with the direction he was given and so he is expected to prepare a report based on the results of the national vote recount.
