Opposition Commissioners’ walkout signals APNU+AFC’s unreadiness for 2025 elections

On May 27, 2025, the three opposition-nominated commissioners of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) held an exclusive press conference to say that GECOM is not ready to hold an election on September 1, 2025, following President Ali’s announcement in his Independence Day speech.
