President David Granger yesterday said that his APNU+AFC government will accept the Guyana Elections Commission’s declaration of the result of the March 2nd General and Regional Elections.

“As President of Guyana and leader of the government, it is my policy that any declaration coming from the chairman of GECOM will be accepted by the Government of Guyana. I speak for the Government of Guyana,” Granger yesterday told reporters at a press briefing following his first visit to the site of the recount at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC).

Granger’s statement means that all eyes will now be focused on GECOM Chair Justice (Ret’d) Claudette Singh, who will cast the decisive vote whenever a final result goes before the Commission for certification.
