The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has said that it will be ready to conduct General and Regional Elections by the end of February 2020.

In a letter of yesterday’s date to President David Granger, retired justice Claudette Singh who chairs the commission noted that she was cognizant of the fact that both the President and the Nation have been anxiously awaiting information on GECOM’s readiness to conduct credible elections in the shortest possible time.

Deciding to forego specifics she therefore informed that “given all the objective factors, in addition to the deliberations of the Commission and my most recent consultations with our Secretariat, I have concluded and take this opportunity to officially inform you that the Guyana Elections Commission will be able to deliver credible elections by the end of February 2020.”
