GECOM divided following meeting with AG on RoPA amendments

Attorney General Anil Nandlall yesterday met with the Chair and Commissioners of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to discuss the proposed amendments to the Representation of the People Act (RoPA).

Chair, retired Justice Claudette Singh led the delegation that consisted of Commissioners Sase Gunraj, Bibi Shadick, Manoj Narayan, Vincent Alexander, Charles Corbin and Desmond Trotman. Justice Singh had made several submissions to the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and the Attorney General’s Chambers which are spearheading the process. Yesterday’s meeting was a result of those submissions.

Last week Tuesday, Nandlall announced that he has started meeting with groups that made submissions on the proposed amendments. He has already met with the private sector and civil society body – Electoral Reform Group (ERG).
