Countless persons would’ve been disenfranchised without new registration – Rohee

With the addition of 6,000 new registrants during the just concluded continuous registration cycle, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has commended the Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) for a successful exercise and maintained that countless Guyanese would have been disenfranchised without it.

The proclamation was made yesterday by General Secretary of the party Clement Rohee, who also expressed hope that GECOM’s success will extend to its upcoming claims and objections exercise.

“Further, the party welcomes recent public statements by GECOM officials indicating their readiness and level of preparation to hold general elections given the three months’ timeframe after the president’s announcement,” he went on to say.

According to Rohee, GECOM declared over 6,000 new registrants and almost 1,500 transfers during the recent registration cycle,
