GECOM commissioners are wrangling over how much time should be spent considering controversial observation reports before making a final declaration of the results for the March 2nd general elections and Chairperson Claudette Singh will likely have to cast the deciding vote on the matter.
The observation reports which in the main contain objections by APNU+AFC agents at the National Recount are seen as a last-ditch effort by the governing coalition to have the credibility of the elections impugned. The observation reports have been derided by opposition parties as superfluous and matters which should be addressed at an election petition and not in the recount.
While the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) continues to haggle over a deadline for the completion of the National Recount the secretariat yesterday completed the processing of 90 more ballot boxes for a 23-day total of 1,473 out of 2,339.
