At the end of yesterday, Statements of Recount (SoRs) for 98.4% of the ballots have been tabulated for District Four while 99.40% have been processed for the entire country.
The last of 2,339 ballot boxes from the general and regional elections was recounted yesterday afternoon at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) to sighs of relief after 11-hour sessions over the period.
The end of the recount means that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) can now begin the process towards the declaration of a final result once the final tabulation of all of the boxes is completed.
GECOM spokeswoman Yolanda Ward last evening said a total of 2,325 Statements of Recount for the general elections were tabulated yesterday while 2,244 were completed for the regional elections.
The tabulation process was interrupted yesterday for approximately one hour as a result of a poor internet connection.
