Norton says Disciplined Forces vote without major hurdles

Members of the Disciplined Forces are casting their ballots on Friday, ahead of the September 1, 2025, General and Regional Elections, and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Presidential Candidate, Aubrey Norton, said the process is unfolding well.

He spoke at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, Georgetown, where he made his first stop for the day, observing the process unfolding. According to him, reports received indicate that the voting is proceeding without major hurdles. Those voting today are from the Guyana Defence Force, the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Prison Service.

However, Norton emphasised what his party’s focus is.

“We just want to ensure that there are free and fair elections, and that the law is followed,” Norton said.

Polls opened at 06:00 hrs promptly across the country, and according to officials, the process has so far proceeded smoothly. Deputy Chief Elections Officer, Aneal Giddings, acknowledged that there were minor issues with some party agents who showed up without their required letters of appointment/accreditation.

The rest of the country is expected to go to the polls on September 1, 2025.
