Saying that it has no faith in the Guyana Elections Commission’s (GECOM) use of Statements of Poll (SOPs) for the tabulation of Region Four votes, the Private Sector Commission (PSC) yesterday called for a recount of all ballots for the electoral district.
If GECOM agrees to a ballot recount, the PSC said it would ask the regional and international community to assist in overlooking the process to ensure there is transparency.
“That [counting of ballots] is the ultimate proof of the votes. If you have a dispute with regard to the examination of the SOPs, you then have a recount which goes back to the boxes, which as far as we know are still sealed and intact,” PSC elections observer Kit Nascimento yesterday told a press conference..
