A meeting between commissioners of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the Government and Opposition Chief Whips on the electoral body’s preparedness for general and regional elections ended yesterday without any clear indication of how soon the polls could be held.
The meeting ended abruptly and Opposition Chief Whip Gail Teixeira subsequently charged that what is happening at GECOM in terms of its preparations for elections in keeping with constitutional provisions following the passage of the December 21st no-confidence motion against the government “is a massive filibuster.”
“This is a massive filibuster to make sure elections are not held within the 90 days as required by the Constitution, or even any modicum of trying to make it be held within reasonable time,” she added.
