THE Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) will soon finalise discussions in relation to ‘joinder lists’ ahead of the upcoming September 1, 2025, elections.
This is according to Deputy Chief Elections Officer (DCEO) Aneal Giddings, who was at the time speaking with members of the media during a training session on Wednesday.
He recalled that during a previous meeting with political parties, many of them and even members of the press had lots of questions about a joinder list.

“Specifically, not this part of it, but what do we do in terms of who is chosen from what lists, and who really is the representative of the joinder,” Giddings said.
He noted that going back to a promise he made some weeks back, the issue was raised at the level of the Commission, but it as not yet finalised those discussions.
“It is likely that at the next statutory meeting, that matter could be finalized, so that the party that had questions, and for you the media to be clear on the procedures that obtain regarding representatives of joinders,” he said.

Giving a preview, Giddings disclosed that there are no representatives of the joinder; there are representatives of each party. However, he expressed that further details will be divulged when the Commission finalises its talks in this regard.
