Months after the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) concluded the hiring of its Chief Election Officer (CEO), the elections body is now recommencing the process to fill the other key positions.
GECOM is currently looking to fill the posts of Deputy Chief Election Officer (CEO), Assistant CEO, Chief Accountant, Legal Officer, Logistics Manager, Civic and Voter Education Manager. Those posts were advertised since early October 2021 along with that of the CEO. The process to fill the vacancy of CEO was a tedious one that ran for more than three months.
It culminated with GECOM’s former Public Relations Officer and DCEO Vishnu Persaud being appointed. At the first meeting of 2022 held on January 04, the Com-mission decided that a subsequent meeting would address the shortlisting of the applicants and set dates for the interview. However, that is yet to be realized.
