Speaking during his press conference today, Jagdeo pointed out that the count was observed by stakeholders including polling day staff, local and international observers, and party agents; and that the Statements of Poll (SOPs) were signed off and uploaded to GECOM’s website and available to all Guyanese.
He further highlighted that the results for each district were declared by the respective Returning Officers and signed onto by the various parties’ agents. The results for all ten regions are now in the public domain for all Guyanese to see, he noted.
“The tabulation of those results shows that the PPP/Civic won a landslide in the 2025 elections,” Jagdeo emphasised.
