Guyana preliminary elections results as at 11:30 Tues night |
GECOM chairman Dr. Steve Surujbally has urged Guyanese to be patient with the slothfulness of the announcement of preliminary results from Monday’s General and Regional Elections stating that they must verify the numbers with the hard copies of the Statements of Polls (SOP) from around the country.
“We at GECOM cannot sacrifice exactitude and thoroughness, we cannot compromise our efficiency on the altar of expediency, that is clear,” he told reporters at a news briefing Tuesday morning.
The chairman noted that some results are being called in but they will not be used.
“For us only the SOP hard copy is what counts,” Dr. Surujbally stated. Below are the preliminary figures released so far by GECOM.
Meanwhile the OAS has appealed to the political parties to be patient and not to release unofficial elections results.
Overall figures for General election:
NB: The following figures are not final because GECOM is continuing to verify hard-copy Statements of Poll from across the
country.

- AFC – 10,608
