GECOM condemns the circulation of fraudulent election results by WIN party affiliates, emphasizing the impossibility of vote counting immediately after polls closed. Police investigation launched.
GECOM officials addressing media about fraudulent election results circulation
The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has issued a strong condemnation against the circulation of fraudulent election results, specifically targeting the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party and its associated social media channels.
Immediate Post-Poll Deception Attempt
In what appears to be a calculated attempt to manipulate public perception during Guyana's critical election period, a fake Statement of Poll (SoP) was published just one minute after polls closed. GECOM emphasized the logistical impossibility of such rapid vote counting, labeling the act as "despicable."
Investigation and Official Response
The Commission has announced that the matter will be referred to the Guyana Police Force for investigation. This development comes amid heightened tensions surrounding electoral integrity and the need for transparent democratic processes.
We take the opportunity, once again, to appeal to all stakeholders to accept ONLY the results of the elections that are posted on the GECOM website in the form of Statements of Poll.
Legitimate Results Protocol
GECOM has outlined the official channels for election results:
- Official GECOM website postings
- Declarations by Supernumerary Returning Officers
- District and Sub-District Returning Officers' announcements
- Final national results declaration by GECOM
The incident involves Team Mohamed's Facebook page, associated with US-sanctioned businessman Azruddin Mohamed's WIN party, highlighting the growing concern over social media's role in election integrity.
