At yesterday’s Local Government Elections (LGE), APNU candidates in Georgetown and New Amsterdam last night appeared to have defeated their former colleagues who crossed over to the ruling PPP/C.
In three constituencies tracked by Stabroek News in Georgetown and one in New Amsterdam, lesser known A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) candidates outpaced candidates with a higher national profile. (See box by box results within.)
With no official results released at all by the Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) up to press time this morning, APNU and the People’s Progressive Party/C (PPP/C) clashed over the outcome. APNU claimed victory in Georgetown, New Amsterdam and Linden. Little information emanated last night from neighbourhood democratic councils (NDCs).
