GECOM assures of credible 2025 elections

-warns of ongoing disinformation campaign

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) is advising voters to be wary of disinformation being peddled about the general elections scheduled to be held later this year and assures that it will deliver a credible elections process.

In a release yesterday, GECOM referred to two letters published in the Kaieteur News on January 7 and 8 and authored by a R. Williams as an example of its concerns. In the first letter captioned, “Partisan Appointments Threaten Electoral Integrity at GECOM,” the writer accused the government-nominated Commissioners and the Chairperson of the Commission, Justice (Rtd) Claudette Singh, of colluding and exhibiting partisan bias in relation to the appointments of key management staff, in particular, the Chief Election Officer, the Deputy Chief Election Officer, the Assistant Chief Election Officer, Logistics Manager, and the Civic and Voter Education Manager. The writer then concluded that given the nature of these appointments, GECOM cannot be trusted for the 2025 elections.
