PNCR unhappy with GECOM response on elections issues

Shurwayne Holder

Chairman of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Shurwayne Holder yesterday said that his party received unsatisfactory answers to most of the issues it raised with Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) officials at a meeting on Tuesday,

Holder, who was speaking at the party’s weekly press conference, said the officials included the commission’s chair Justice (ret’d) Claudette Singh and Chief Election Officer Vishnu Persaud and during the meeting the party raised issues such as the Preliminary Voters List (PVL)  being more suited for national and not regional elections and concerns about the new gazetted boundaries for local authorities.

Another concern raised, according to Holder, is the fact that less than two weeks before nomination day for the upcoming local government elections there is no  voter education and no manager has been appointed for this process.
