Chief Justice (Ag), Roxane George -Wiltshire has dismissed the latest application filed

to compel the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM)

to rely on nothing but disputed figures to make the final election’s declarations.

In her ruling yesterday, the CJ determined the figures derived from the recount

of the March 2, 2020 Regional and General Elections are valid and unless overturned by a Court in an election petition

it is the only data that could be used for the declaration .


Justice George-Wiltshire stated too that the previous ten declarations cannot be “resurrected”.

The CJ said that it is her view that the submissions made on behalf of Jones
the CEO
and the Attorney General (AG) Basil Williams..... were “hopelessly flawed”.

She noted that, in their submissions, all three parties contended that the Section 22 of the Elections Laws

(Amendment) Act No. 15 of 2000 was unconstitutional and based their arguments on a ruling by the CoA.

In this regard, she stressed that the submission on behalf of the applicant, that the CoA’s decision on Section 22

is obiter dicta, cannot be accepted
