And the PPP Jagdeoite will be dissolved, no obliterated on May 11.
The People United, can Never Be Defeated!
Long live the coalition! Long live the People of Guyana!
Don't hold your breath....because a majority awaits the P.P.P at the May 11 polls.
The Presidents address to the Nation: Fellow Guyanese,
As you are aware, last November I prorogued the Tenth Parliament of Guyana.
As I explained then, that action was taken to allow the parties in Parliament additional opportunities to talk and hopefully resolve the pressing National issues that were confronting us.
In addition, I wanted to give GECOM time to have another round of Continuous Registration to enfranchise those persons, who, through no fault of their own, did not have the source document to be registered.
Unfortunately the opposition refused to dialogue and I was left with no option but to call elections for May 11, 2015.
I did not dissolve the Parliament at the same time because had I done so, the claims and objections period which also allows for transfers would have been truncated.
Were the latter to have occurred, thousands of Guyanese voters who changed their place of residence would not have been able to obtain their transfers and this could have led to them being disenfranchised.
The Claims and Objection period ended last Sunday, February 22, 2015, clearing the way for me to dissolve the Parliament.
I therefore wish to announce that earlier today I issued the Proclamations that identify 28th February, 2015 as the date of the Dissolution of the 10th Parliament of Guyana and the Ten Regional Democratic Councils.
As I have previously announced, General and Regional Elections will be held on May 11, 2015.
I thank you and Good night!

President Donald Ramotar on Tuesday finally announced the dissolution of Parliament, paving the way for general and regional elections on May 11, 2015.

He should have said, "the parliamentary majority AFC/APNU" gave me diarrhea, and after my runnings, I can't hide any more, I have to dissolve the parliament.
The AFC/APNU so confused them, they don't know when to dissolve.
Ramotar said GECOM's claims and objections period ended two days ago. The preliminary list of voters came out a few days ago and Rohee didn't raise alarm bells. We can assume that the final list of voters will satisfy the PPP. As such, they mustn't cry rigging when they lose on May 11.
The hope is that is his swan song and we are not burdened with the sound of his voice again in any official capacity

Wait. Did he say he pre-dissolved Parliament and the RDCs?
While a ministerial act, and most likely quite legal, it's still a very very underhanded and undemocratic way to extend the life of his government.
His Government constitutionally and morally in the Westminster tradition serves at the pleasure of the National Assembly. This obviously is another device to thwart that age old convention of responsible government.
One can technically remain within the letter of the law while totally undermining the very same. This is that.
Well done Donald, no turning back now. You are no longer the President. Later

Actually, this announcement means absolutely nothing legally.
A Proclamation isn't a proclamation until it has been gazetted in the Official Gazette.

It was gazetted. Check the official gazette.
