As the criminal investigation into the attempts to manipulate the results of the March 2nd polls widens, Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield was yesterday arrested in connection with allegations of criminal conduct and subsequently released on station bail after invoking his right to remain silent.
In a press release issued yesterday afternoon, Guy-ana Police Force spokesman Assistant Commissioner Royston Andries-Junor confirmed that Lowenfield was arrested yesterday and taken to the Criminal Investiga-tion Department (CID) Headquarters, at Eve Leary, in Georgetown.
While there, Andries-Junor said, several allegations were levelled against Lowenfield in the presence of his attorney. Throughout the process, he remained silent.
