Local gov’t polls likely by end of November

Justice Claudette Singh

Responding to questions on preparations for the overdue Local Government Elections (LGE), GECOM Chair, retired Justice Claudette Singh said that the body is aiming to host the polls by the end of November.

She made the announcement following questions from the press yesterday at the Office of the President where a new Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) commissioner was sworn in.

“We just finished our continuous registration. And we are moving now to have a preliminary list and to move then to claims and objections…we are very much looking at the end of November, early December [for LGE],” Justice Singh said.
