(Kaieteur News) – Former Speaker of the National Assembly and Senior Counsel, Ralph Ramkarran believes that it is morally imperative and a standard practice for commissioners attached to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to resign after their appointee is no longer in office.

Ramkarran shared this view in regard to the ongoing debacle over A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) commissioners retaining their post long after their party lost the position as the main political opposition. The party was toppled by the Azruddin Mohamed’s We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party.

Sharing his views via his blogspot, Conversation Tree, the former Speaker noted that in Guyana, election commissioners are appointed on deliberate judgment or on recommendation.
