suggestions made by the international observers to ensure that the organisation was set to host free and fair elections. Back in January, the AFC met with GECOM during which a number of issues were ventilated, in a subsequent press briefing Leader of the AFC Nigel Hughes described the meeting as nothing short of ‘disastrous’. In his statement to the media on Thursday during the party’s weekly press conference, Hughes stressed that the AFC continues to be gravely concerned over the non-implementation of recommendations the international observer missions to Guyana’s National and Regional Elections in 2020 suggested, even as the 2025 elections are rapidly approaching. The Guyana Elections Commission appears uninterested in implementing the key recommendations of the international observer missions which included the Carter Centre, the Organisation of American States the OAS, the European Union EU the Commonwealth to name a few as outlined in their final reports. These fundamental recommendations were well articulated at the time and recommended to ensure that the challenges and errors of the 2020 elections debacle would not be repeated,” he said. The Attorney-at-Law argued that with improvements to the systems at GECOM, citizens would be confident in its ability to deliver free and fair elections to them. He also highlighted that there are particular recommendations that are important like, “the OAS, Carter Centre, and EU observer missions all called for a comprehensive reform of the voter registration system. The undertaking of a house-to-house registration process at the earliest opportunity on completion of the 2020 election and a thorough update of the decades old voters register well ahead of the next election cycle based on inclusive consultations and political consensus.
