Guyana Elections 2020 – GECOM Awaiting Legal Guidance Before Starting Vote Recount

March 17, 2020 – 7:06 pm
 GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Tuesday March 17, 2020 – The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) today said it’s awaiting legal guidance before deciding on the commencement of a national recount of the votes cast in the March 2 general and regional elections.

Last Saturday, President David Granger sought the assistance of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to oversee the recounting of ballots in all 10 administrative regions in the country, saying that would put all doubts, about the validity of the results, to rest.

Through the intervention of CARICOM’s Chair and Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley, a five-member high-level team was dispatched to Guyana on Sunday to supervise the process which was expected to commence the following day.  Continue reading →

Guyana Elections 2000 — Comedy of Errors or Circus of Terrors? – By Yvonne Sam

March 12, 2020 – 4:04 am

By Yvonne Sam

Organizing free and fair elections is more important than the result itself.

The people who cast the votes decide nothing the people who count the votes decide everything.
Count me in as one of the bona fide Guyanese who was glad to know that the elections to decide who governs Guyana would be taking place on March 2, and even happier to know that there would be a team of observers (Organization of American States) headed by former Prime Minister of Jamaica Bruce Golding. Former Barbados Prime Minister, Owen Arthur, is heading the Commonwealth Observer team. In place were all the elements to ensure that there would be
no element(s) of recurrence of the past — accusations of riggings, fraud, loud shouting and foul mouthing as was the case in the previous election of 2015.        Continue reading →

Guyana Elections 2020: OPINION: Why Region 4 Verification was Terminated – By Ron Cheong

March 12, 2020 – 3:09 am

Why Region 4 Verification was Terminated
By Ron Cheong – March 11, 2020

To answer the question it helps to look at the verified results in the other nine Regions in conjunction with Region 4 results for 2020. First, let’s look at the three Regions other than Region 4 that APNU/AFC carried in 2015:

 In Region 10, the most unassailable APNU stronghold, their share of the verified vote is down
0.8%
 In Region 8, their share declined 4.1%.
 And in Region 7, APNU/AFC share declined by a hefty 8.8%, with the smaller parties combined clawing away a significant 8.3%.
