Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance Gail Teixeira has called on the Guyana Police Force to “investigate threats” allegedly made by Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton against Chair of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) retired Justice Claudette Singh.
In a press statement on Friday, accompanied by a series of excerpts from various news articles of the APNU+AFC calling for the removal of Singh, Teixeira said that “these threats and verbal attacks expose a sinister plot to bully and intimidate a former Judge and the Chairperson of a constitutional body, the Guyana Elections Commission, one of the highest in the land which is established to protect the right of the Guyanese people to vote for a government of their choice in freely and fairly managed elections.”
