No decision yet on extension of vote recount

With one week left in its original 25-day timetable for the recount of votes from the March 2 polls, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) still has 1,290 ballot boxes to count, an impossible endeavour in the remaining time.

However, its members remained silent on the way forward yesterday even after a meeting was held yesterday.

Yesterday saw the recount of 85 ballot boxes, for an 18-day total of 1,049 of the 2,339 boxes used on elections day.
