Army slams report over elections preparations

The Guyana Defence Force last evening slammed reports that it was preparing for general elections in June.

“The Guyana Defence Force is alarmed by a recent News Room publication dated 15th Jan, 2019, titled, “Army preparing for elections in June,” which suggests that the Force is in preparation for National Elections in June,” the GDF said in a release.

 “The Guyana Defence Force wishes to advise the public that we have not authorised any such release or made any such pronouncements. The Guyana Defence Force is aware that we are not the authority for specifying the date and or time by which elections should be held,” it added.
