The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) on Sunday afternoon declared Mohammed Irfaan Ali, President elect following the submission of the report of the March 2 , general and regional elections by the Chief Elections Officer to the commission.

The declaration was made by Chief Elections Officer, Retired Justice Claudette Singh after she received the report from CEO, Keith Lowenfield.

Lowenfield in his report stated that he does not believe that the declaration reflects the will of the people.This he said was based on the number anomalies which came out in the recount process.
