GECOM Chairman still at home on medical leave, spokeswoman says

Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairman James Patterson is still at home resting, according to the commission’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Yolanda Warde, who says photos of him that were circulated online by an opposition Member of Parliament (MP) were not recently taken.

Warde was referring to questions regarding a Facebook post by Opposition MP Nigel Dharamlall, which featured three photos of the Chairman outside in the company of an unidentified female.

The post was made on Friday on Dharamlall’s personal Facebook page, and was accompanied by a caption which insinuated that the GECOM chairman, whom he dubbed “Mr. fit n propa,” was faking his illness.
