With Local Government Elections (LGE) constitutionally overdue and the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) dragging its feet on preparations, the Leader of the Opposition is now accusing the government of having no intention of hosting the polls.
“First, let me say I don’t believe the government’s intention is to have local government elections. The government has never showed an interest in local government elections. They have always postponed local government elections, and local government elections were held at the right time under the APNU+AFC…the PPP has no interest in local government elections,” Norton said at a press conference on Tuesday.
