Afro-Guyanese Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield Charged With Forgery And Misconduct In Public Office

It has been reported that the Chief Election Officer, Keith Lowenfield, is charged with forgery and misconduct in public office. 

Lowenfield also faced four additional charges and was placed on 300,000 bail today.

“The intention is perhaps to have Mr. Lowenfield and the Deputy removed from their substantive positions and so by the filing of charges, there might be a basis by which, I assume, the Elections Commission will consider, I am assuming, an application for them to be suspended from office or not act. But as I have said, that appears to be the basis for the trend going forward”, Attorney Nigel Hughes said

The charges against Keith Lowenfield, Roxanne Myers, and many others from GECOM are private charges from the current administration representatives.

He is expected to be in court on October 23, 2020.
