Joint opposition calls for removal of Region Four Returning Officer

The Joint Opposition Political Parties (JOPP) have called for the revocation of the appointment of the Returning Officer for Region Four citing conduct at a previous election and in a letter to the elections commission they expressed dismay that it was business as usual while this matter was being deliberated on.

In letters to Guyana Elections Commission Chairman Dr Steve Surujbally, the PNCR, WPA, GAP and NFA called for the removal of Jaigobind Mohabir. The letters also revealed that there was a deadlock at the level of the Commission over the request for the revocation.

The first letter to Surujbally was sent on September 2 and was signed by PNCR Leader Robert Corbin, Rupert Roopnaraine for the WPA and Anthony Vieira for
