GECOM PRO denies delay tactic claim by opposition-nominated commissioner

Sase Gunraj

Although opposition-nominated commissioner Sase Gunraj on Saturday accused the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Secretariat of attempting to delay elections preparations by not providing requested work plans on Friday, the agency’s Public Relations Officer Yolanda Ward has maintained that they were always scheduled to be delivered today.

In a press statement, Gunraj, who co-chairs the Operations Committee, noted that after the statutory meeting held last Tuesday it was decided that the Secretariat will provide to members of the commission several work plans detailing the various options and the timelines regarding the holding of general and regional elections.

He stressed that the work plans were to be presented by Friday so that they could be perused and digested for discussion by members of the Operations Committee at a meeting scheduled for Monday.
