The last of 2,339 ballot boxes from the controversy-ridden March 2nd general elections was recounted this afternoon at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.

The end of the 33-day recount means that the Guyana Elections Commission can now begin the process towards the declaration of a final result once the final tabulation of all of the boxes is completed.

The recount was agreed after an attempt to rig the District Four count.
