Saying that Guyana’s electoral system is in desperate need of significant reforms, the main opposition coalition APNU+AFC has urged the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) not to hold elections until before.

APNU+AFC met virtually with GECOM on Tuesday and was represented by PNCR Chairman Shurwayne Holder, General Secretary Geeta Chandan-Edmond, AFC General Secretary David Patterson and AFC Execu-tive Member Cathy Hughes.

The Commission was represented by the GECOM Chairperson, retired Justice Claudette Singh, Chief Election Officer Vishnu Persaud and the six commissioners.
