GECOM to meet twice weekly

To ensure thorough preparation for the National and Regional Elections 2025 and to address all outstanding issues, government-nominated elections commissioner Sase Gunraj told Stabroek News on Wednesday that an additional meeting day for the commissioners has been decided upon by GECOM.

Gunraj emphasized that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) already has robust systems in place to manage its operations effectively. He attributed the shortcomings of the 2020 elections to lapses in statutory compliance rather than systemic failures. Recent legislative changes, informed by public consultations and statutory oversight, are designed to address these past issues and improve future electoral processes, he said.
