Agents from the Forward Guyana Movement have expressed strong objections regarding the presence and conduct of a police officer stationed at the counting table during the vote count. The officer was observed standing closely to the ballots and transmitting information over a radio, raising alarms among party representatives.
This action has been criticized as inappropriate, with claims that the officer appeared to be acting in a capacity beyond his official duties, effectively resembling a member of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) counting team. The Forward Guyana Movement has formally lodged an objection, calling for immediate action from GECOM to address the situation.
The party emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity, transparency, and independence of the counting process, urging GECOM to ensure that the election proceedings remain free from any undue influence or interference. As the situation develops, the Forward Guyana Movement continues to advocate for a fair and transparent electoral process.
