Carlton Beckles and Maxine Ann Welch

Carlton Beckles has been elected as the Mayor of Lethem while 19 – year – old Maxine Ann Welch has been elected as the Deputy Mayor.

They were both voted into office on Friday following the Local Government Elections on March 18.

During a telephone interview with the Guyana Chronicle, Welch was ecstatic after being sworn in at the Amerindian Hostel Compound during a ceremony.

She said that she was taken by complete surprise but is nevertheless very happy and certain she will not disappoint her fellow councillors.

The young lady is aware that she has quite a task ahead but is confident because of the support of her colleagues from the APNU+AFC side of the fence.

Welch said it is an honour to be elected for such a position and promised to take her responsibility very seriously. She is employed at the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) as the administrative assistant and was born and raised in Lethem.
