GECOM Secretariat sees March as earliest time for polls
The Secretariat of the Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) yesterday presented to the commissioners a draft schedule of timelines which sets the earliest date for General and Regional Elections as March 2020.
According to opposition-nominated commissioner Bibi Shadick, the proposals presented by Chief Elections Officer Keith Lowenfield will see elections held βone year and two days after the time provided for in the Constitution.β
Based on the passage of the December 21st, 2018 no-confidence motion against the APNU+AFC government, elections were due on March 21st, 2019 but several legal challenges have so far delayed the holding of these elections.
