The Liberty and Justice Party (LJP) has said it is awaiting a response from the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on replacing the designated candidate for its seat on the Region Eight Regional Democratic Council (RDC), which is expected to pave the way for the body to be finally sworn in after months of delay.
LJP spokesman John Flores yesterday told Sunday Stabroek that the party has submitted new names to GECOM after designated councillor Jimmy James indicated that he no longer wished to represent it on the council due to health concerns.
However, Flores said to date the party has not received an acknowledgement from the commission.
