(Kaieteur News) – The Opposition Leader, Azruddin Mohamed, has formally written to President Ifraan Ali, advising him of his decision to nominate three lawyers to serve as opposition representatives on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

The nominees: Senior Counsel Roysdale Forde, Siand Dhurjon and Damien Da Silva were selected to represent the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party after Mohamed completed a consultation process with opposition stakeholders.

Opposition Chief Whip and WIN parliamentarian Tabitha Sarabo-Halley confirmed that the letter was dispatched to the President on Tuesday. She said while Mohamed invited input from other opposition figures, including recommendations from Forward Guyana Movement leader Amanza Walton, he ultimately retained his original slate of nominees. The party is now awaiting the President’s response before deciding on its next course of action.
