In light of consistent calls by the APNU+AFC, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is maintaining that the responsibility to investigate allegations of electoral fraud falls within the jurisdiction of a competent Elections Court.
This comes even as Chair of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) retired Justice Claudette Singh dispatched a list of names to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Commissioner of Police to verify whether those persons were in the country on March 02, 2020. The names were submitted to the Chair during the recount of votes following the March 2020 polls.
The dispatching of additional names comes following a letter to the Commission by APNU+AFC’s Chief Scrutineer Carol Joseph-Smith on September 20.
