GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Aug 31, CMC – Guyana’s two main political parties ended their campaign for Monday’s general elections with impressive rallies and expressing confidence of being victorious.
Both the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) and the coalition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) as well as the newly formed We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) held their final rallies in a bid to woe the estimated 757,690 people, who are eligible to cast ballot for the 65 National Assembly seats and 10 regional councils.
The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Saturday said it had agreed to accept the late notification or submission of several categories of persons that are key to the political parties monitoring Monday’s general and regional elections.
“As a consequence, written appeals were submitted by the parties to the Commission for consideration. In this regard, a special sitting of a statutory meeting was convened, and the requests were approved in the interest of fairness and transparency, and to ensure the integrity of the process,” it said.
