DEAR EDITOR,
Now that the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has ruled on the two impending matters, namely the legality of the No-confidence motion and that of the appointment of the GECOM Chairman, all eyes are now focused on the consequential orders which the CCJ will make on June 24.
The holding of new elections is again validated by the CCJ, which held that such elections take place no later than three months following the successful passage of a no-confidence motion, unless Parliament by a two-thirds majority voted to extend the date for such elections.
The current APNU-AFC administration is now living on borrowed time. It can no longer continue to use the judicial process to justify its continued longevity, now that the highest Court has definitively pronounced on the matter.
President Granger has indicated that he would be guided by GECOM on a date for elections which seems contradictory to his stated commitment to honour the Constitution as now reaffirmed by the CCJ. His insistence on a new Voters’ List, which is unlikely to be compiled before the constitutionally stipulated timeframe, appears to be yet another strategy to circumvent the Constitution and thwart the democratic and constitutional rights of the Guyanese people.
The entire democratic world is watching with keen interest on how events are unfolding in Guyana.
