The post of Chief Election Officer (CEO) for the Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) has attracted the attention of a wide range of candidates including an election official from Jamaica and another from the island of St Kitts.
Leslie Oliver Harrow from Jamaica and Eugene Godfrey Petty from St Kitts are among 20 who have submitted their applications to be considered for the post of GECOM CEO.
According to sources close to the Commission, both men have significant electoral experience. Harrow has held a number of positions within the Electoral Commission of Jamaica (ECJ) and was just last year appointed as Director General of Jamaica’s Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM).
