Lowenfield takes the position which became vacant when the contract of the previous holder Goccool Boodoo was not renewed by Gecom. Lowenfield was chosen ahead of three others: acting Chief Election Officer Calvin Benn, former Jamaica Elections Director Danville Walker and overseas-based Guyanese Savitri Singh.
