Over a month after his appointment as Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom), retired judge James Patterson will today convene a statutory meeting with the other members of the commission.
Patterson confirmed to Stabroek News yesterday that he will meet with the commissioners but could not immediately say what is on the agenda for discussion.
This newspaper was subsequently informed that each commissioner received a notice, dated November 17, 2017, informing of the statutory meeting. The internal memorandum stated that in accordance with Article 226 of the Constitution, “the Chairman hereby requests your presence at a Statutory Meeting scheduled for Friday November 24, 2017 @ 13:00 hours in the GECOM Boardroom.” The notice was signed by Patterson.
