Ahead of a crucial vote, a meeting of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) was adjourned yesterday following a withdrawal by opposition-nominated commissioners Vincent Alexander and Desmond Trotman.
The meeting, which was expected to vote on the termination of the Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield, Deputy Chief Election Officer Roxanne Myers and Region Four Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo, will reconvene on Thursday as per the Constitution.
Speaking with Stabroek News last evening, Alexander explained that he and his colleague withdrew from the meeting after the government-nominated commissioners attempted to place on record particular accusations against the officers without first having those accusations established as fact via an independent hearing.
