The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) has called for the country’s political leaders to meaningfully engage each other in order to resolve the current impasse over the holding of general elections and the appointment of a Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairperson.
“…[It] is clear that a political solution has to be found. Therefore, in the best interest of our dear nation and its people, the ERC urges the political leadership to meaningfully engage each other to derive the much desired and mutually agreed solutions so as to break the current impasse,” the ERC said in a statement yesterday.
The statement came one day after the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) declined to fix timelines for the holding of general elections, which are due as a result of the passage of a no-confidence motion against the government last year.
