Surujbally urges reform of selection process for elections commissioners

Former Chairman Dr. Steve Surujbally has called for the process used to constitute the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) to be revamped, while saying that drawing nominees from political parties is a recipe for partisanship and polarization.

Speaking to reporters at his final press conference on Tuesday, Surujbally said the way commissioners are selected has to be changed or it would continue to prevent the “coming together” of the people.
