`I am eligible to run’

Aliann Pompey

“In my opinion, I am a suitable candidate and I tick all the boxes.” 

So said four -time Olympian, Aliann Pompey yesterday ahead of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) Electoral General Meeting (EGM) scheduled for Sunday at Olympic House.

However, in a correspondence seen by this publication, Pompey was deemed ineligible to contest one of the three Vice President positions due to article 14.4.1 “being a national of Guyana and ordinarily resident in Guyana.”
