Government-nominated Elections Commissioner Sase Gunraj yesterday detailed instances where former Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield disregarded a large number of valid votes as he sought to finalise the results of the March 2, 2020 elections in defiance of directions from both the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the courts.
Gunraj, who was the lone witness to testify yesterday before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the elections, said that on the numerous occasions when the commission had requested an accurate report of the recount from Lowenfield, he frequently made excuses and when he finally did present a report, they found that the CEO had invalidated almost half of the valid votes.
