Lowenfield report says it cannot be ascertained that recount results meet criteria of fair, credible elections
Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield today delivered his report to GECOM Chair Claudette Singh on the 33-day recount of votes and sources tell Stabroek News it says that in each district it cannot be ascertained that the results meet the criteria of free and fair elections.
The report contains the tabulations for the 10 electoral districts and a summary of the controversial observation reports that had been raised by APNU+AFC agents during the 33-day recount of votes from the March 2nd general elections.
Lowenfield’s first report to the GECOM Chair which has not been acted on had shown a win for APNU+AFC.
GECOM is already under pressure over the fact that its District Four Returning Officer tried to rig elections in favour of APNU+AFC.
Lowenfield’s report will be seen as giving succour to APNU+AFC’s fallback position which is that a verifiable election result is not possible and that the elections be annulled.
