Election date is not March 2.

This pig has no shame. He and his wicked Coalition has done everything to evade the elections. I hope the PPP does not go back to parliament to give legitimacy to this abomination. The people of Guyana has nothing to gain by the PPP legitimizing the illegally squatting Coalition. Let the country continue as it has been since December 21, 2018 with no active legislature.

Exactly. That is why the PPP should just let the country continue in its non government state.

Granger giving out sheer kak!  So they got almost their entire term!  The ABC putting on a show for the sake of it.  If PNC rig, they will get away with it.  Granger knows where he stands with them.

Y'all shoulda stick wid ole man Patto. Y'all fite de man down and he was giving y'all elections in November 2019. Now y'all listen to Jagdeo and he pick de iron lady that giving y'all elections after February 2020.

Bai, if the PPP had done this, those wells weren't going to have enough oil to fuel the PNC and its supporters violence and mayhem.

Well, everyone can't remain in the trees.

The GADAHA did NOT surprise me. An ANIMAL he is, he did not at all disappointed me.

Let me be CLEAR if the PPP help this SCUMBAG to extend Parliament then the supporters MUST all stay home!!!!!!!!!!!!  Enough is enough!!

I agree. If the PPP behave like the adult in the room and accommodate the PNC shenanigans in any way, I am totally done with Guyana.

Let’s wait and see the next move. I am not surprised that he showed the notorious Claudette Singh that he will call election whenever he wants to. This man Granger is a total vagabond, however, it was also Jagdeo that enabled him.

President sets March 2nd as earliest date for polls but says Parliament must extend period

The Constitution at Article 106 (7) states, “Notwithstanding its defeat, the Government shall remain in office and shall hold an election within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall by resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the votes of all the elected members of the National Assembly determine, and shall resign after the President takes the oath of office following the election”.

The extension of a period beyond three months for the holding of an election is related to the Elections Commission’s readiness to hold the elections. The Government of Guyana must, as a consequence, return to the National Assembly to request an extension. The National Assembly reconvenes on 10^th October 2019.

Granger government was successfully defeated by a no confidence vote in parliament in December 2018; hence elections must be held within three months after that date.

Due to the legal challenges in 2019 and the decision of the CCJ upholding the December 2018 no confidence vote; elections must be held within three months from the 2019-CCJ decision.

In that regard; the president and cabinet should have immediately resign; after the decision was made by the CCJ. The president then remain in office; in a caretaker position; and focus on conducting the elections.

Article 106 (7) could then apply if the caretaker government can secure in parliament a minimum of two thirds of all MPs.

The President is required to both dissolve Parliament as provided for in the Constitution at Article 70 (2) and the ten Regional Democratic Councils as provided for in the Constitution at Article 73 (2).

The Constitution at Article 61 states: “An election of members of the National Assembly under Article 60 (2) shall be held on such day within three months after every dissolution of Parliament as the President shall appoint by proclamation.”

The Constitution at Article 70 (2) states further that: “The President may at any time by proclamation dissolve Parliament”. The Constitution at Article 73 (2) provides that: “Elections of members of regional democratic councils shall he held and the councils shall be dissolved at such times as subject to paragraph (3), the President may appoint by proclamation.”

Article 70 (2) and Article 73 (2) are relevant when the government has not been defeated by a no confidence vote in parliament.

Hence, because of the specific decision of the CCJ upholding the December 2018 no confidence vote, the sections of the two articles are irrelevant.

This is total bullshit.  Patto would have never given elections in 2019.  And It's not Claudette Singh who calls election date. 

The best way to survive an accident is to avoid one. The PNC does not have the reputation or numbers to win elections in Guyana so they are only in this position where they can abuse the laws of Guyana as well as the will of the people because some people who forget that the PNC has always been a usurper gave them the license to do so in 2015. Nothing has changed with how the PNC operates and the information era doesn’t seem powerful enough to shield Guyanese from the PNC wickedness.

Granger speaks as though he has no conscience nor shame.

Y’all nah see wuh going down here? The international community just condemned Granger for violating Sep 18. And what he did, throw out the possibility of elections almost six months later.  

I told you people a while ago, Granger has been hoodwinked!  In the end, they would have served out their full term.  

Pretty clear they will rig the election, and will get away with it.

You think Granger is guided by the opinions of abie.  His people are 95% behind him!  So are the GDF and GPF!

That 95% is like Trump’s 98%. They represent about 30% of the entire population.

I must add something to what I wrote above. By no means are the PPP saints. They have had their share of malfeasance. I know Indians who were personally and professionally targeted by the PPP and Jagdeo in particular. I have no issues with those people being against the PPP especially with Jagdeo as it’s engineer. It is the others who got fooled by the wine down ‘vote like a boss’ nonsense which caused them dance all the way to their demise.

President sets March 2nd as earliest date for polls

How misleading, the president did not set an election date, he fooled the people again in buying more time. Parliament supposed to be dissolved, he is shifting the blame and responsibility unto parliament for them to set a date, "that is new"  so if the PPP refuse to attend parliament then they will get the blame for not setting election date, this is a political TRAP.

 The PPP MUST refuse to sit in parliament and must not extend the date, let the ABC, UN see how corrupt the PNC/AFC/APNU behaving.

Jagdeo: PPP will not be blackmailed, will not return to Parliament

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo Wednesday evening declared that the opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) will not return to the National Assembly to legally extend the life of the Government.

“The only reason they want us to go back to Parliament is to give legal coverage to the illegalities they have committed over the past year,” Jagdeo told the News Room.

In an address to the nation, President David Granger announced March 2 as the earliest possible date for elections but sought to suggest that date is conditional upon the approval of an extension by the National Assembly.

“The extension of a period beyond three months for the holding of an election is related to the Elections Commission’s readiness to hold the elections.

“The Government of Guyana must, as a consequence, return to the National Assembly to request an extension,” the President stated.

But Jagdeo said this is another falsehood and the PPP will not be blackmailed into attending the National Assembly.

He said GECOM’s readiness to hold elections and the President’s discharge of his constitutional responsibility are in no way linked.

The Parliament is currently on recess and will resume on October 10 after which the Government can set a date for a Parliamentary sitting. But Jagdeo told the News Room that the PPP will not attend.

The Constitution mandates elections within three months after the passage of a No-Confidence motion however, the Government launched legal challenges to the passage of the motion.

Guyana’s final court of appeal, the Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice, ruled on June 18 that motion was validly passed.

As a result, it indicated that the three-month constitutional deadline from elections began on June 18 and hence elections were due on September 18.

It means the Government has already surpassed the date within which it could have gone to the National Assembly to request an extension for the holding of elections and hence an extension to the life of the Government.

Jagdeo said the President’s address to the nation was replete with misrepresentation and lies, where the President presents himself as a defender of constitutional rule when he has been “the primary source of unconstitutional rule in the country.”

Jagdeo also took issue that the President did not definitively declare an elections date, instead saying that March 2 was the “earliest possible date.”

“We are no clearer that definitely March will be or will not be elections or it is just another of Granger’s game,” said Jagdeo.

The Coalition partner, the Alliance For Change (AFC) has acknowledged March 2 as the date the President has set for elections.

With what's happening presently AFC supporters are asking themselves "what kind of change did we vote for,".  It seems like they voted RACE instead of CHANGE!

So from now to Dec. 2nd, he has nuff time to make the world of promises and to thief the taxpayers dollars.

Oye Dave , you going and campaign ?

The big disappointment is Jagdeo to the PPP. What has he achieved,  NOTHING election is almost on the regular time line. Time for Changes to the PPP administration  not too late. Would Charrandas now return to campaign for the PPP or still scared. 

Granger is in full control,  he can rig without objection.  The opposition is impotent.

NO WAY , not with Irfan as the presidential candidate. 

“ IF” PPP wins, Irfan will not be allow to swear in as President. 

I believe PNC will let loose their dogs of war claiming their name is not on the list, to further delay the election.

Something here is not too clear to me.  Are you saying if there was no NCV there would not have been this crisis that we are experiencing?

Who will BJ name as PM .. he was waiting on a election date?

We have been dealing with this type of political problem over half a century now. I don't see why we have to be taken aback. A country with less than a million people living a vast piece of virgin land should be happy as those living in Australia and Canada. We are still uncivilized people when looked at from the perspective of a civilized western society.

At this point, who cares, maybe he name Nagamottoo. He is good at picking losers.

It’s difficult to say what if and what if not.  However, the NCV caused the PNC base to rally around the President.  They had grown disappointed in the ruling junta.  Maybe the divisions would not be as sharp and the base not as motivated. But it’s all second guessing!

I think though, the PNC would not want to relinquish power easily but not sure what they would have told their base.  Now they using the NCV to show Indians don’t accept them to rule.  While one side celebrates, the other sees treachery!

I believe Jagdeo made their job easier by his brash statement after the CCJ shot down his 3rd term attempt.  Then his selection of Irfaan left no doubt he intends to run the cake shop like Putin.  

The international community looks on with jaundice eyes and turning a blind eye to Granger’s infractions as long as there is no major violence and upheaval. 

I believe Granger now has a free rein and will play it cleverly.  He knows where he stands with the international community.  Ayuh coolies could keep buzeing till Ayuh geh hoarse!
