PPP asks GECOM Chair to reconsider recount proposal

The opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has voiced its concern to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairperson, retired justice Claudette Singh, over her decision to approaching the National COVID-19 Task Force via Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo with a “request” for advice on working hours during the proposed national recount of ballots cast at the March 2 polls.

“You should be informing that task force of your plan,” the Opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) told Singh in a three page letter dispatched yesterday.

Another party which contested the elections, The Citizenship Initiative (TCI), also called yesterday for an explicit commitment to a clear plan with a set timeframe beginning on Monday April 20.
