Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) CEO Fern Narcis-Scope said dealing with complaints by political parties was part of the job and the organisation did not feel pressured or rattled by it.

Narcis-Scope made the statement in response to the United National Congress (UNC) sending around 28 letters of complaint to the EBC on election day on April 28. She told Newsday the EBC responded to all except one. There were also two letters from the Progressive Empowerment Party before the close of the polls.

“As the issues came in, we investigated each one and dealt with them on a case-by-case basis. There were some things that had some merit, there were some things that did not. Nevertheless, we dealt with them.”
