An international team will be named by Tuesday to form the Commission of Inquiry (CoI)  to probe the attempts to rig the March 2nd 2020 regional and general elections,  President Irfaan Ali announced yesterday.

Approaching two years since he promised the enquiry in his inauguration address, the President made the disclosure while speaking at the remembrance rally for the Enmore Martyrs.

Last week,  Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chair, retired Justice Claudette Singh ruled against a proposal by opposition-nominated commissioner Vincent Alexander for an internal probe of the elections.
