Chief Whips still to meet GECOM on readiness

It is still not clear when the two Chief Whips will meet with the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to discuss its readiness to hold general elections but at least one Commissioner is hoping that the Chairman’s health is a main item on the agenda when the meeting does occur.

“The readiness of GECOM will include the availability of a Chairman,” Opposition nominated Commissioner Bibi Shadick stressed to Stabroek News yesterday.

The Chief Whips were mandated to meet GECOM to discuss its readiness for elections following a meeting on January 9  between President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo on the outcome of the December 21 motion of no confidence which requires elections to be held by March 21 this year.
