Coming off of running a successful local government election just six weeks ago, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has the capability to pull off general and regional elections within the next 90 days, according to Opposition-nominated commissioner Bibi Shadick.
Asked yesterday if GECOM was prepared to hold general and regional elections by the end of March, Shadick said, “Yes. GECOM has just pulled off an elections. We don’t have to go back to creating a new list. Our list is valid. That is usually a delaying factor.”
The list of voters, she said, is valid from the 31st October to the end of April. “We have the machinery and staff that we had for the November local government elections that could work again. For those areas that did not take part in the elections, we have enough trained staff to manage those areas. GECOM can pull off an elections in one month.”
