GECOM’s public relations officer, Vishnu Persaud this afternoon disclosed that the ruling PPP/C has asked for a recount of votes at several polling stations on the East Bank of Demerara and in Georgetown.
He said this will therefore have an impact on the release of results from yesterday’s general election. Political observers point out that the recount call by the PPP/C shows that there is a tight contest between it and the APNU with the AFC placing third.
Persaud, speaking at the media centre at the Pegasus Hotel, also said that planes from Regions 1, 7, 8, 9 bringing crucial statements of poll have been delayed and this will also slow down the process.
