THE unraveling of the plot to rig the 2020 elections that included the use of a pre-populated spreadsheet with altered figures for the varication of votes in District Four, has taken an explosive turn.

Former Assistant Registration Officer at the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Alexandra Bowman testified today before the ongoing presidential Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the March 2, 2020 elections.

She implicated embattled Returning Officer for the District, Clairmont Mingo and his assistant Michelle Miller in providing the instruction to subsite the Statements of Poll (SoPs) for a spreadsheet during the verification process.

Apart from Mingo and Miller, Bowman also testified that former GECOM Information Technology (IT) staff, Enrique Livan, was the person who downloaded the infamous spreadsheet onto her personal flash drive and handed it to her for use on a laptop.
