THE Guyana Chronicle apologises to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and to Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DCEO) Vishnu Persaud for the headline on Page One in yesterday’s edition, which inadvertently misrepresented the contents of the article.

The DCEO did not say ‘GECOM is ready as ever for conduct of elections’. However, in a telephone conversation with this newspaper, he did indicate that the Commission has in place a framework which would be converted into a work plan for the conduct of general and regional elections once a date is pronounced on by President Donald Ramotar.
