With 25 days to go to the Local Government Elections, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has posted to its website, http://www.gecom.org.gy/ the approved lists of candidates for the ten municipalities and the approved lists for the 70 neighbourhood democratic councils contesting the polls.
Seeking to regain a seat on the Georgetown municipality is city mayor Patricia Chase-Green, who will once again be representing A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) on Constituency 12 – Tucville-North Ruimveldt constituency. Chase-Green will be coming up against public servant Brian David Nobrega of the Alliance For Change (AFC) and sales representative Maxine Donetta Padmore of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).
The AFC is contesting elections on its own after it failed to reach a local government accord with APNU. The two groups contested the historic 2016 local government elections as a coalition but not this time.
