GEORGETOWN – The governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) is seeking to have the chief elections officer Keith Lowenfield, his deputy Roxanne Myers and the returning officer for Region 4, Clairmont Mingo dismissed from their positions.
The PPP/C, through its commissioners on the Guyana Elections Commissioners (GECOM), filed three motions demanding the “immediate dismissal” of the three officials based on the controversial regional and general elections on March 2 last year that resulted in the removal of the coalition, A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) administration.
No date has yet been set for the debate on the motion. Both the government and the opposition have three GECOM members each on the seven-member commission that is chaired by retired Justice Claudette Singh.
