The Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) is ready to hold Local Government Elections (LGE) which are due by December this year, according to its Chairman, Justice (retired) James Patterson who said on Wednesday that a declaration of the date is all that is outstanding.
“It (preparation) is reaching its time post. We have no difficulties at all as regards to what we have to do…We are ready for it (LGE) …just waiting for a declaration as to the date from the relevant minister”, he said when contacted.
The PNCR has called for a new house-to-house registration process in response to the PPP’s recent concerns over the existing voters’ list.
