Governing coalition partner the Alliance For Change (AFC) has called for the appointment of a new Chairman for the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to be done with the utmost urgency so that it can be concluded within two weeks.

“The party …urges that early consultations be held in good faith between the President and the Leader of the Opposition so that a new Chairman can be appointed without delay,” a statement, issued last evening by party executive Cathy Hughes, said.

It further noted that the party respected and accepted the recent rulings by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in the matters relating to the appointment of the Chairman of GECOM and the passage of the December 21st no-confidence motion against the APNU+AFC government.
