In deciding against a proposal for an internal investigation to be launched into the events of the March 2020 general and regional elections, Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) retired Justice Claudette Singh reasoned that such an exercise would be outside of the remit of the body and potentially infringe on the jurisdiction of the High Court.
Opposition-nominated commissioners Vincent Alexander, Charles Corbin and Desmond Trotman submitted the proposal on February 3, 2022, arguing that GECOM is in no position to objectively contribute to the amendment of any electoral laws or reforms without investigating the weaknesses of the system that led to the attempt to skew the results.
