The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Saturday said it is saddened by the sudden death of Bibi Safora Shadick, a longstanding member of the Commission.
“This is extremely shocking since she actively participated as usual at the meetings of the Commission as recent as Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. As a Commissioner at GECOM, Bibi Shadick’s efforts were consistently focused on the efficient management of registration and election projects as constitutionally mandated, enacted in the legislation as well as international best practices. Her principled position was to ensure that there was compliance with fiscal and administrative procedures.
