During the 42-day Claims and Objections (C&O) period, nearly 18,000 objections were lodged with the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) but fewer than 400 were upheld even after more than two-thirds were withdrawn.
Sources at GECOM have indicated to Stabroek News that of the 17,964 objections lodged countrywide between October 1st and November 11th, 13,747 were withdrawn before hearings could be held to establish their legitimacy.
This meant that a significantly lower number, 4,217 made it to hearings, where a mere 395 were upheld.
