GECOM yesterday said a recount of ballots in the hotly disputed March 2nd general elections could take at least 25 days and amid continuing fears of rigging, the opposition PPP last night said it has “grave doubt” whether the process would be credible given the voting by Chair Claudette Singh on several pivotal matters.
While the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has decided that the long-awaited recount will take approximately 25 days, the number is not “cast in stone” as the Commission has said it will review the timeline when necessary.
“We would start in anticipation of completion in 25 days. That would be subject to review within the first week based on the pace of work,” government-nominated Commissioner Vincent Alexander told reporters yesterday after another day-long meeting.
