ACTING president of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), Fizul Bacchus says the local governing body for the sport is prepared to work with whoever is elected at the helm of Berbice’s cricket.

Bacchus made the announcement yesterday, adding that, the GCB has always lent its support to the development of the game in the Ancient County.

“The GCB is prepared to work with whoever is elected at the helm of Berbice’s cricket. The GCB support has been there over the years and it will continue, so whoever is elected on Sunday, we at the GCB will give that individual and his administration our fullest support,” the GCB boss pointed out.

New elections to decide who will lead the affairs of the BCB for the one-year term, according to what is stipulated in the Cricket Administration Bill, will be held tomorrow at the New Amsterdam Town Hall from 11:00hrs.

Tomorrow’s electoral process has been scheduled following a ruling delivered by Justice Navindra Singh on December 18 last, where he mandated new elections. Justice Singh’s ruling came after the result of the October 8, 2017 elections was annulled by the Court.

Former president Dhierandranauth Somwaru and Director of Regional Health Services in Region Six, Jevaughn Stephens, are down to square off for the post of president.

“The Court had ordered the elections…the Judge issued an Court Order, so I hope that what is stipulated in that Order (Court) must be carried out. I just hope that the process is free and fair, and whatever or whoever is elected, the results will be accepted,” Bacchus revealed.

The Court Order issued by Justice Singh indicated that an Agent of the Court will convene tomorrow’s meeting for the purpose of election being held.

The Order further stated that the Agent shall verify the presence of the delegates/representatives of the various clubs and associations from the lists approved by the court.

Such verified delegates/representatives shall then vote for a Returning Officer from among all the persons present in the room.
According to the Order the Returning Officer shall then conduct the election for the office bearers of the Berbice Cricket Board.
