Following another series of meetings, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is expected to meet today to finally set a date for the start of a recount of the votes cast at the March 2 elections.

Beginning at 10.30 am yesterday, the Commission met with the parties that contested the polls and the majority sought to lobby for the recount process to be broadcast live in the interest of ensuring transparency.

“All of the participants except for the incumbent APNU+AFC have advocated for [live steaming],” opposition-nominated commissioner Sase Gunraj told reporters following the meetings.
