Some 32 parties had initially shown interest in contesting the elections and GECOM last week said they expected the number to drop to around 11.
The others submitting were the opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU); Alliance For Change (AFC); The United Force (TUF); Horizon and Star; East Berbice Development Association (EBDA), and the Fundamental Structure Group (FSG). more
