Setbacks encountered in finalising new slate of nominees for Gecom Chair -Jagdeo

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has said that he has had some setbacks with the finalisation of a third slate of nominees for the post of Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom).

As a result, Jagdeo told Stabroek News last week that he was unable to make the submission to President David Granger in keeping with an earlier agreement.

Jagdeo had told reporters on July 28 that the list would have been finalised and submitted the following week. However, he left the country that same week.

Stabroek News was informed yesterday that he has since returned.
