…defends Chair’s meeting with diplomats, rejects “comatose” label
The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has defended its Chairman’s recent engagement with Heads of Diplomatic Missions while rejecting claims made by Opposition Commissioner Alexander that the electoral body has become “comatose” because it has not convened a meeting since September 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, GECOM said the meeting with the five Heads of Mission was held at their request and not convened by the Chair, Justice Claudette Singh, and Chief Election Officer, Vishnu Persaud, to discuss the conduct of elections, as suggested by Alexander in a published letter.
