In a Public Statement : Rickford Burke has raised concerns regarding the integrity of the ongoing vote recount process conducted by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM). In a recent statement directed at GECOM, political parties, and election observers, Burke questioned the effectiveness of the recount if it does not include cross-referencing votes against the official Voters List.
“What is the purpose of the recount if you are only counting votes and not cross-referencing it against the Voters List?” Burke stated, labeling the current approach as “madness.” He emphasized that for the recount to be meaningful, it must verify that individuals who voted are appropriately marked off the Official List of Electors (OLE), and that the ballots correspond with the ballot stubs and the number of voters.
Burke’s comments highlight ongoing concerns about the electoral process as stakeholders continue to seek transparency and credibility in the recount.
