A show of unity as party agents celebrate recount of final ballot box

It was a show of unity and a cause for celebration as party agents of the 11 political parties that contested the March 2 General and Regional elections removed the last of 2,339 ballot boxes for recount on Sunday.

The party agents applauded and took photos as they removed the last box from the container at the Arthur Chung Conference Center where the recount is ongoing.

Most of the party agents have been at the recount site since the recount began on May 6 – a total of 33 days.

Most have been working a rotation system as Guyana battle the spread of COVID-19.
