President David Granger will soon begin consideration of the third list of nominees for the post of Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) submitted by opposition leader Bharrat Jagdeo, Minister of State Joseph Harmon said yesterday.
“…He will actively consider the names on the list and will invite the Leader of the Opposition to consultations shortly,” Harmon said yesterday after a meeting with Granger on the nominations.
Last Friday, Jagdeo informed that he had submitted a third list comprising Joe Singh, a retired Guyana Defence Force Major General who once held the very post in 2001; former long-serving magistrate Krisndat Persaud; attorneys Teni Housty and Sanjeev Datadin; pilot and biodiversity advocate Annette Arjoon-Martins; and Adventist pastor and agriculturalist Onesi La Fleur.
