The confusion, which was quelled after a brief period, where national Super50 skipper Christopher Barnwell give a motivational speech, stemmed from some members who were not in a good financial standing with the club, being denied the right to vote.
A vote was casted by the electorates, who were deemed to be in good financial standing, to decide whether or not those members not in good financial standing, be allowed to vote, following which an unanimous verdict of no was reached.
More uncertainty prevailed while the results of that mini vote was being announced, for which Barnwell called for peace and tranquility in his speech which was applauded by those present including Honorary Secretary of the Guyana Cricket Board, Anand Sanasie and GCB Marketing Manager, Raj Singh.
Mentore, who was being challenged for the position of presidency by present president of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Roger Harper, then made the announcement of Bish Panday, a former GCA president, as the Returning Officer.
Several members of DCC from both factions of the floor challenging the legality of the elections, with some members who were offering their unwavering support to Harper, opting to keep a separate meeting on the opposite side of the venue.
However, when the dust was settled, Mentore was re-elected to steward the Club for another year, having as his deputies, Ian John and Ruth Howard, with Howard being asked to serve in the capacity of Administration.
Seon Greaves retained his position of Secretary, while there is a new Treasurer in Darren Torrington, even as Ulanda Wiltshire was asked to execute the office of Assistant Secretary/Treasurer and Shalim Baksh Public Relations Officer (PRO).
Jamal Hinckson will take over as Club Captain, while the five Committee Members are Alliance For Change (AFC) Parliamentarian and shadow Minister of Sport, Trevor Williams, Garvin Nedd, Lyndon Lyght, Kevin George and Ron Amos.
