Granger has the OBLIGATION to choose from a list presented by the Opposition Leader, as stated in the constitution.
The president can exercise his sole choice WHEN the Opposition Leader fails to submit a list of candidates.
The list submitted has to be acceptable by the President otherwise he can make a unilateral choice. That was the ruling of the Chief Justice and Granger adhered to this ruling.
