PNCR, WPA welcome start of house-to-house registration

The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), both members of the APNU faction of the governing coalition, have welcomed the planned commencement of house-to-house registration from today by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

In welcoming the move, the PNCR yesterday accused the opposition PPP of “being scared” of free and fair elections.

Speaking at a press conference at Congress Place yesterday, PNCR Treasurer Ronald Bulkan said the decision is consistent with both the Constitution and the Caribbean Court of Justice’s (CCJ) ruling that the country needs to hold fair and credible elections in the shortest possible time.
