Despite committing to working towards hosting the constitutionally overdue Local Government Elections (LGE) by the end of this year, seven months later, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is yet to identify a clear timeline for hosting those elections.
Local Government Elections were constitutionally due at the end of last year but GECOM was without a Chief Election Officer and could not have prepared to host the elections. As a result, the Chair, retired Justice Claudette Singh, wrote to the government informing them of the situation but did commit to confirming a timeline after the appointment of a CEO.
