Opposition submissions on criteria for Gecom chair to be examined -AG

The opposition’s interpretation of the constitutional criteria for nominees to fill the vacancy of Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) and the supporting case law will be carefully examined before another meeting is held on the issue, according to Attorney-General Basil Williams SC.

Williams’ position was contained in a statement issued by the Ministry of the Presidency (MOTP) late on Wednesday night, following his meeting earlier in the day with opposition MP Anil Nandlall.

Nandlall, in a separate statement following the meeting, said that the meeting was fruitless as Williams was seemingly unprepared.
