Deputy CEO not renewing contract – GECOM official
The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) may soon be looking for a new deputy for its secretariat.
GECOM’s Calvin Benn
Officials yesterday confirmed that Calvin Benn, the current Deputy Chief Elections Officer, has signaled his intentions not to renew his contract. Benn is currently on leave. His contract ends July 31.
GECOM officials confirmed that he told officials that he will likely not be pursuing an extension after that date.
Benn has served over 12 years at GECOM, which manages the election process in Guyana.
Among other things, he has served as the Deputy CEO and even acted in the CEO position from time to time.
Recently, during the search for a new CEO, Benn, in his late 50’s, had been a candidate. However, he pulled out and Keith Lowenfield was later appointed to fill the position.
