The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) may soon advise the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development that the earliest possible date it could host the overdue Local Government Elections (LGE) is March 6, 2023.
While GECOM administrates elections in Guyana, the responsibility to name a date for local government polls is within the remit of the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development. In this case, GECOM Chair retired Justice Claudette Singh would have to write Minister Nigel Dharamlall informing him of the state of readiness of the commission to execute its mandate.
