-cites failure to uphold mandate
One of Guyana’s political parties, A New and United Guyana (ANUG), has launched a scathing criticism of the performance of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) citing egregious errors along with a failure to fully uphold its constitutional mandate.
In a release yesterday, the ANUG began by pointing out that GECOM is a constitutional agency governed by Guyana’s constitution and enjoys yearly subventions of taxpayer’s funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of Guyana’s dollars. And in 2024, GECOM received $3.5 billion of taxpayer’s dollars for recurrent activity costs and more importantly, the preparation for General Elections 2025.
