With general elections looming next year, the main opposition APNU yesterday met with the Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) on its readiness for polls and said that it was “encouraged” by the agency’s preparations.
“What we’ve heard I think is encouraging. I think that they have gone a long way,” chairman of APNU Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine told reporters following the meeting. He added that they also have concerns and identified these as the fact that it is taking GECOM “a very long time” to get the full complement of people applying for Election Day duty.
