GECOM’s statutory meeting rescheduled

Today’s expected statutory meeting of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has been rescheduled to tomorrow as members of the commission are still to be provided a copy of the Chief Justice’s recent ruling on house-to-house registration, which is expected to inform a highly anticipated decision on the holding of general elections.

“We have not yet received the official decision of the Chief Justice. It was promised today but we now expect to receive the ruling tomorrow and, therefore, the meeting was rescheduled for Wednesday,” government-nominated commissioner Charles Corbin told Stabroek News last evening.

According to Corbin, the commission’s discussions need to be informed by the ruling, which GECOM Chairperson, retired judge Claudette Singh, has indicated should be in her possession today.
