Ghanaian President visits Guyana

CCJ RULINGS: GECOM Chair was appointed in breach of the Guyana Constitution

Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) this morning rejected arguments that former Government MP Charandass Persaud was constrained from voting against his list. President Adrian Saunders noted that nothing in the constitution prevents this and as such, his vote was and still is valid, hence the No confidence motion, the CCJ decided, was validly passed.

The CCJ today dismissed Government’s submission that 34 votes were needed to validly pass the No-confidence motion.

President Saunders noted that a majority of all elected members of Guyana’s National Assembly is clearly 33.

Submissions from the parties involved for the CCJ to issue consequential orders will be heard on June 24 at 2:00hrs. Also on the table will be discussions regarding the awarding of costs.

The Decision of the CCJ should be respected by all political parties for the better good of Guyana.

President Granger says he will still wait on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to complete House-to-House registration before announcing a date for early elections.

We did not believe that the no-confidence vote was valid and neither did we believe it reflected the will of Parliament or the Guyanese people

Respect CCJ ruling; find agreement on way forward – Envoys urge

The Liberty and Justice Party (LJP), launched on January 12, says Tuesday’s rulings by the Caribbean Court of Justice was “just.”

However, LJP Leader Lenox Shuman said he believes President David Granger is using the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) as another tactic to delay the holding of General and Regional Elections.

“It seems as though the President wants to use GECOM as another stalling tactic to moving this nation forward,” Shuman said at a press conference at Kingston, Georgetown on Tuesday.
