Plans for a Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the five-month period after the March 2, 2020 polls remain on the table, according to President Irfaan Ali, who says he is in constant dialogue with the international community on the issue.

Ali made the disclosure after being asked by Stabroek News on Monday whether a team has been identified to conduct the inquiry.

“As you are aware, there are many issues ongoing simultaneously in relations to the elections commission and so that team has not been named. I have been engaging various international stakeholders,” Ali said on the sidelines of the swearing in ceremony for regional Chairmen and Vice Chairmen.
