PPP welcomes GECOM Chair’s ruling on recount

The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) says it is “extremely happy” with yesterday’s decision of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to direct the Chief Election Officer to prepare a report, using the recount results, in keeping with Section 96 of the Representation of the Act, Chapter 1:03.

This the party said in a press release paves the way for the official declaration of Election Results and the swearing-in of Dr. Irfaan Ali as the ninth Executive President of Guyana.

It added that yesterday’s decision is in line with earlier expressed views that GECOM is not a court of law and therefore has no jurisdiction to hear allegations of irregularities.
