The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has strongly condemned a misleading video posted by Bryan Mackintosh, also known as Bryan Max, a candidate for the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party, which has been circulating on Facebook.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Commission described the video as a “false alarm” designed to “create mischief and confusion” during a critical stage of the electoral process.
“This level of disinformation from a political candidate is reckless and irresponsible and must be rejected, especially since all political parties are engaged in GECOM’s operations,” the release noted.
GECOM clarified that no containers with ballot boxes were ever moved under the cover of night, as the video implied. According to the Commission, all ballot containers were transported during daylight hours, delivered to their designated destinations, and have since remained under continuous police guard.
Labelling the video as a “dishonest, vile, and malicious publication,” the Commission said it was clearly intended to undermine public confidence in the institution and the integrity of the electoral process.
“GECOM, through its Secretariat, will continue to fulfil its responsibilities in compliance with the relevant laws, and with total transparency and integrity,” the statement affirmed.
The Commission has urged citizens to remain vigilant against the spread of misinformation and to rely only on official updates regarding the conduct of the 2025 General and Regional Elections.
