THE Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has lauded Guyana’s electorate for conducting themselves with maturity and stability during the September 1, 2025, General and Regional Elections, describing the polling day as peaceful, free, fair, and transparent.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Chamber praised the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) for the efficient management of the electoral process, which it noted was carried out without disruptions to voting across the country.

However, while commending the Commission, the GCCI urged that more attention be given to enhancing inclusivity in future elections. Specifically, the Chamber called for the implementation of systems to ensure persons living with disabilities can comfortably access polling stations and exercise their constitutional right to vote.
The GCCI further emphasised the need for a stronger and more targeted voter education programme to guarantee that all segments of the population are properly informed on how to cast their ballots.

As the nation awaits the official declaration of results, the Chamber reiterated its appeal for the timely release of credible results and encouraged all stakeholders to work towards ensuring a peaceful conclusion to the 2025 electoral process.
