AS expected, a number of people around Georgetown remained indoors as the city appeared like a ‘ghost town’ yesterday, following the General and Regional elections on Monday, while the results of the poll are being anxiously awaited. During a drive around the city yesterday, the Guyana Chronicle noticed that popular businesses remained closed, and hardly anyone could be seen walking the streets.
Apart from businesses being closed, some schools were closed as well. In one instance the Guyana Chronicle visited a primary school where a distressed parent sat there surrounded by a number of students who had arrived and found that there was no school.
The situation was similar at other schools and students could be seen loitering on the streets even after 9:00hrs when they would normally be in their classrooms.
Meanwhile, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has called on persons to be patient as they await the elections results.
