GECOM sidesteps claim by Forde to be List Representative for Asha Kissoon’s party

Asha Kissoon

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) yesterday stated in a letter that it was unable to pronounce on Dr Gerald Forde’s status as relates to his position as Representative of the list of The New Movement (TNM) party. The letter which was signed by GECOM Chair, retired Justice Claudette Singh, states:

“Dear Mr. Forde,

Re: Your Queries – Asha Kissoon

Reference is made to previous correspondence and our subsequent conversation on the above subject. In this regard please be advised that GECOM is not in a position to pronounce on your status in relation to being the Representative of The New Movement Party.”

Further, in contradiction to Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir’s acknowledgement of receipt, Parliamentary Clerk Sherlock Isaacs yesterday noted that he has not seen the letter that Forde penned to Nadir.
