The opposition PPP says that even if the Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield subverts the electoral process by not submitting the correct results today for the March 2nd general elections, GECOM can act on its own.
A statement by the PPP follows:
The APNU+AFC continues their relentless attempts to prevent the accurate results of the 2nd March 2020 National and Regional elections from being declared.
In their monumental efforts to pervert the will of the electorate, they continue to rely on Keith Lowenfield, the Chief Election Officer (CEO) of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), to carry out their illicit and undemocratic design.
As a result, the Chairperson rejected Mr. Lowenfield’s adjustments to the elections results based upon these irregularities and gave him very clear and precise instructions to prepare a report, required under Section 96 of the Representation of the People Act.
In the event that Mr. Lowenfield persist in subverting the elections results, by using erroneous figures in the preparation of the report, then the Commission has sufficiently wide powers under Article 162 of the Constitution, to declare the results of the elections, as produced by the national recount exercise.
