THE emergence of more and more information, backed up by documented evidence, led President Donald Ramotar to again request that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) do, if not a total recount, a recount of 22 ballot boxes where irregularities were noticed.GECOM has reportedly agreed to do the recount and the President and his team called for this to be done in the presence of party representatives and electoral observer missions.
Until the recount is completed, the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic (PPP/C) has called on the Chief Elections Officer (CEO) not to make any disclosures regarding the final results of the 2015 General and Regional elections.
The President is urging supporters and the nation as a whole “to wait a bit longer to have democracy prevail.”
The Head of State stressed that the recount of 22 ballot boxes where irregularities in the electoral process were flagged will be “worth the wait.”
