Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairman Dr Steve Surujbally said he is hoping to have final results of the elections available by tomorrow evening, but stopped short of committing himself to a time for an official announcement.
“I’ll tell you what I want, I would love to have that done by tomorrow evening, but I am not going to pin [Chief Election Officer Gocool] Boodoo down,” he told a news conference at the Pegasus Hotel, while noting that the law allows for up to 15 days for the tallying of the votes.
“God, help us! We will not go for 15 days to give you a result,” he added.
Polls closed at 6pm and at many places of poll counting has started.
