Less than two days before the staging of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) elections, several associates of the four affiliates that were barred by the Electoral Committee from voting at the forum staged a protest outside the headquarters of the federation, advocating for the restoration of their voting rights.

The protest, which was attended by supporters and associates of the four debarred entities, Santos, Western Tigers, Guyana Police Force (GPF), and West Demerara, occurred at the GFF’s Section-K Campbellville headquarters yesterday.

Georgetown Football Association (GFA) President Otis James, who is also a member of the opposing former President Franklin Wilson’s slate, led the protest, which featured approximately 15 individuals displaying placards criticising the decision of the electoral committee and alleging corruption and manipulation on the part of the incumbent GFF executive. The remonstration lasted for approximately 50 minutes.
