Opposition-nominated members of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) are cautiously hopeful that the torturous elections will end today at 2 pm when Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield submits a report of the “valid votes counted in the National Recount as per the Certificates of Recount.”
GECOM Chair Claudette Singh wrote Lowenfield yesterday setting the deadline for the report which signalled that she intends to abide by the recount result.
“The request was very specific. I hope Lowenfield brings that report. I hope [the elections] are finally at an end and we can make a declaration today,” Opposition-nominated Commissioner Bibi Shadick said in an invited comment. Her colleague Sase Gunraj expressed similar hopes but said he won’t be relaxing just yet.
