The termination of former Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield’s Personal Assistant, Duarte Hetsberger is attracting some controversy at GECOM.
Current Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) CEO Vishnu Persaud terminated Hetsberger’s contract effective December 31, 2021, and the report came up at GECOM’s statutory meeting on Tuesday.
Hetsberger has been a controversial figure at the Elections Commission and was questioned by the Police in relation to the attempt to alter the results of the March 2020 general elections. He was however never charged unlike his former boss Lowenfield who is before a city magistrate on trial.
