GECOM still deadlocked over way forward

After another three hours of discussion yesterday, the members of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) have still not reached a decision on the way forward with the opposition-nominated commissioners accusing their colleagues of using “delaying tactics” to stymie developments.

“I hate to disappoint you again this afternoon but we have not reached any meaningful decision. I can’t even say that the discussions are meaningful…It is clear that the delaying tactics continue and that has stymied any developments,” Opposition-nominated commissioner Sase Gunraj told reporters as he left the commission’s High Street Office.

His colleague Bibi Shadick went on to describe the process as long and tiring with no end in sight.
