Day 21 of the national recount concluded yesterday with a total of 82 ballot boxes being recounted and as the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) falls farther behind its 25-day schedule two more work stations could be added today.
In his address to the media following the meeting yesterday, Gunraj said that he believes that one factor that can “greatly” improve the process is the addition of more work stations.
In this regard, Gunraj explained that he along with others including members of the observers team have taken a decision to go to work stations around this time and look at the process with a view to ensuring that maximum efficiency is being generated at that time so at least one other box can be accommodated.
People’s Progressive Party (PPP) executive member Anil Nandlall also stated that the process once again saw a “major battle” yesterday to get ballot boxes out of the containers as 5.30 pm approached.
“So hopefully we get an additional two stations tomorrow (today) and we are hoping that both would be dedicated to the counting of Region 4 ballots because as you know that is the largest number of ballot boxes to be counted and we really need additional stations because we are far behind the deadline,” Nandlall said.
