AFC looks forward to early polls with selection of GECOM chair

The selection of Justice Claudette Singh as the new chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has been welcomed by the Alliance For Change (AFC) and the Private Sector Commission (PSC).

The AFC, which is part of the governing APNU+AFC coalition, also declared that it now “looks forward to an early elections being held in accordance with the constitutional requirement consequent on the passage of the December 21…no confidence motion.”

The passage of the motion and the subsequent ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice make elections constitutionally due by September 18th, unless a parliamentary deal is struck for an extension.
