Pat Chase-Green elected Mayor of Georgetown

As expected, Patricia Chase-Green was this afternoon elected the Mayor of Georgetown.

At the inaugural meeting of the new council at City Hall, Chase-Green, a nurse, was the only nominees for the post. She was nominated by APNU+AFC councillor Oscar Clarke and seconded by his fellow councillor Alfred Mentore. APNU+AFC councillor Sherod Duncan was elected as the deputy mayor. APNU+AFC controls 25 seats on the council. Georgetown has a newly-elected council for the first time since 1994.

Chase-Green won the Constituency Twelve election on March 18 by a wide margin. She has been a city councillor since 1994 when she entered on the ticket of the now defunct, A Good and Green Guyana.
