Two representatives from the Carter Center yesterday met with members of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) as part of an “exploratory mission” to gather information on preparations for the holding of General and Regional elections.
GECOM Chair James Patterson, Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield, Public Rela-tions Officer Yolanda Ward and GECOM’s legal officer along with the three PPP/C-nominated commissioners were present at the nearly one-hour meeting with Associate Director, Brett Lacy and Legal and Electoral Advisor Anne Marlborough
Ward later explained to this newspaper that the Atlanta, Georgia-based Center had reached out to GECOM to enquire about a meeting.
