Even though a verification exercise is underway, opposition-appointed commissioners at the Guyana Elections Commission are pleading for specific criteria to be identified for field staff in the demarcation of constituency boundaries.
This position has attracted a contrasting view from government-nominated commissioners. The differing views from commissioners on both sides of the table have resulted in a stalemate affecting deliberations and decision making at the level of the commission.
At last Tuesday’s meeting, opposition-appointed commissioner, Vincent Alexander, said they raised the concern in a bid to avoid the prospect of returning to the fields to execute further work in the demarcation of the boundaries and create further delay.
