President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that national elections will be held within the allotted constitutional period and he denied claims by the PNCR that the government is seeking to extend his term.
However, Jagdeo revealed that the Guyana Election Commission (GECOM) admitted to him yesterday morning that it has sought legal advice on him being granted a third term. He said he was very upset that the commission had second guessed him, since he had made it clear in the past that he was not interested in a third term in office.
