With one day left in the original timeline for the recount of votes from the March 2nd general elections, GECOM yesterday extended the deadline to June 13 and by majority decision agreed for a maximum of three days after the receipt of a final report from the Chief Election Officer (CEO) for the declaration of a result.
This could put the end date for the protracted and controversy-laced 2020 General and Regional Elections (GRE) at June 16.
An addendum published yesterday to the National Recount Order alters four of the 14 Clauses which make up the Order, beginning with Clause 2, which sets the timeline at 25 days.
