President David Granger has announced that he will resist any attempt to deny him input in the list of six “not unacceptable” candidates for consideration for the post of chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).
Speaking on interview programme The Public Interest, which has been on hiatus for two years, Granger said Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo’s outright rejection of his suggestions is “a recipe for gridlock.”
On Wednesday, Jagdeo rejected Granger’s suggestion of retired judge Claudette La Bennett and GPHC Chairperson Kesaundra Alves for addition to the list of four persons already deemed “not unacceptable.” Jagdeo then submitted four additional names.
