Former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Sir Shridath Ramphal has weighted in on Guyana’s political crisis and called for the court to follow the Constitution in making its judgment or else the country will become a failed state.
He noted that in each of the three Constitutions – 1966, 1970 and 1980 – the first Article made the same declaration: “Guyana shall be a sovereign democratic State”.

Ramphal didn't follow the constitution when he helped Burnham controlled the Judiciary, Police Force and the Public service. The court will not listen to a hippocrite like Sir Sridatt.
Guyana is a unique country. Votes will NEVER bring in peaceful co-existence. If the ballots are counted and a winner is declared, a party will cry rigging and so is its supporters. If the PNC loses, expect some ppl to be KILLED in conflicts. The police and the army is not going to lift a finger, they might even get into the fight.
Solution is to leave Granger as the President and seek credible persons as government ministers with the elected parliament of the 2020 elections. This way, the country has a chance of a break.
Granger may even get the Nobel Prize.
