President David Granger says his government will accept the declaration of the current recount of the March 2 General and Regional Elections.
“Whatever declaration that GECOM or the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission gives will be regarded as legitimate.

I speak for the Government of Guyana,” Granger declared this morning while speaking with reporters following the visit to the site of the recount at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
