@Former Member posted:GECOM procedures are explicitly clear ---
Succinctly ...
1. GECOM meetings must have a quorum of at least two members each from the government and opposition sides plus the Chairman.
2. If a quorum is not met, the meeting must be cancelled.
3. If the next meeting there is still not the required members from the government and opposition sides, the meeting again must be cancelled.
4. After the calling of that last session, another meeting can be held with any three members of the commission plus the Chairman and all matters discussed and adopted are final and binding.
Understood. They would have been able to buy themselves one day by missing the next meeting. With the stay they now have two days. If the CCJ does not issue its own stay, the earliest a meeting will most likely be held will be Sunday. Without the stay it would have been Saturday. Hopefully I have interpreted Article 227 of the Constitution correctly which says "in the case of the declaration of the results of the election of the President, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the following day".
