Almost two weeks since he submitted a third list of nominees for the position of Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom), Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo is still awaiting word on President David Granger’s decision.
“Nothing yet,” Jagdeo said, when contacted for an update by Stabroek News.
Last week Thursday, Granger had said that he was “critically” examining the third list and a decision should not be expected before yesterday, since he had to discuss the list with Cabinet. “I don’t make these decisions without advice and I will discuss this matter with my colleagues. It certainly will not be before the next Cabinet meeting, which will be held on Tuesday (next),” he said.
Cabinet met yesterday but there was no word from the government on if the matter was discussed.
