Citing the recent decisions of the Appeal Court and the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire yesterday upheld the validity of the order issued by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) for the national recount from the March 2 polls and said that only those results can be used to make a final declaration.
In dismissing a challenge brought by Misenga Jones to the decision by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairperson Claudette Singh to use the national recount to finalise the results, the Chief Justice specifically underscored that all the grounds of the application had already been litigated during previous challenges from the elections and that their re-litigation was a waste of the court’s time.
However, GECOM is unlikely to finalise the results soon as Jones’ attorneys have already signaled their intention to appeal, while noting that they will go all the way to the CCJ again if need be.
