GECOM places official elections results online
Jun 19, 2015 News
In the face of continued criticism from the People’s Progressive Party/ Civic, the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has made the official results of the 2015 General and Regional Elections available on its website: www.gecom.org.gy.
These gazetted results provide a detailed breakdown of each Registration District by Division and Sub-Division.
GECOM, in a press statement issued yesterday, said that it placed these results online so that all can have access to them for perusal in their own time.
GECOM declared in its statements that the official results of the 2015 General and Regional Elections are “true, correct and credible and follow elections that were peaceful, free, fair and transparent.”
The body noted that Elections Observer Teams both International and Domestic have all reacted “extremely positively” to the efficient and effective conduct of the 2015 General and Regional Elections by GECOM.
Further, GECOM stated, “there have been no credible, provable and evidence-based reports of any fraudulent election activity on the part of GECOM by any Political Party and reputable Local and/or Foreign Observer Groups.”
After a narrow defeat, the PPP/C condemned the elections which saw the PPP/C losing the presidency for the first time in 23 years.
While the elections were widely considered to be free and fair from inconsistencies, the PPP/C has maintained that GECOM, in conjunction with A Partnership for National Unity/ Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) conspired to “rig” the elections.
As a result, the PPP/C mounted protests outside of GECOM’s head office in a bid to bring recognition to their cause. These protests were attended by the former President Donald Ramotar, as well as members from his former Cabinet and other senior party officials, except for former President Bharrat Jagdeo, whose absence was conspicuous.
When the 11th parliament convened, recently, the PPP refused to occupy the opposition seats, leaving APNU+AFC Members of Parliament to be sworn in, while the PPP/C mounted further protests outside of GECOM.
In addition, at the PPP/C’s weekly press conference last Monday, General Secretary of the party, Clement Rohee, reiterated the party’s determination to hold firm to the call for Surujbally’s resignation, stating that the party would not head to the long awaited Local Government Elections with Surujbally still at the head of GECOM at such a time.
