Keith Lowenfield

Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield has acknowledged that the commission staff was at fault in the granting of controversial proxies during the November 15, 2018 Local Government Elections (LGE).

“The GECOM officer was at fault and the commission has since took action,” Lowenfield told a press conference on Friday. He did not indicate what action was taken.

Last November an investigation found that the procedures for the approval of proxies were breached during the voting process in Mabaruma.
