Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Justice Claudette Singh yesterday said that the March 2nd  general elections will be free, fair and transparent.

She was speaking at a media training seminar on elections which was held by the Guyana Press Association (GPA) in collaboration with the Guyana Chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) at Palm Court.

“With so many safeguards implemented at every polling station, inclusive of parties, election agents, local and international observers, the Guyana Elections Commission is cognizant that it will deliver free, fair and transparent elections on March 2, 2020,” she said. Justice Singh also urged media professionals to practice responsible journalism and to avoid sensationalizing their stories.
