Not necessarily so.

Situation could arise that .....

1. Two or all of the government Commissioners can indeed stay away from the meeting.

2. In that case, the meeting must be cancelled for the rules explicitly states that; as a minimum; two Commissioners each from the government and the opposition sides must be present at the meeting.

Now another meeting can be called and the same situation may arise that two government commissioners continues to be absent. The Chairman of GECOM must wait for two days to call another meeting.

After the two-day period, GECOM Chairman can again call a meeting which can proceed if two or the three government commissioners are missing.

In other words ... after the calling of a few meetings where two or all of the government commissioners are missing; the Chairman then has the right under the laws and procedures for GECOM to call a meeting and proceed with business with the opposition members plus herself -- which is four - 4- members of the commission.

GECOM Chairman plus the three opposition members form a quorum and all matters taken at that meeting becomes valid.

That's only a supposition. not realistic.

This was prior to the Order No. 60. That very document is the blueprint that was used as a guideline for the recount process. 

Nonetheless, the specific issue is - valid votes - which has not changed in the documents.

GECOM already decided on valid votes.  APNU/AFC called on GECOM and tried to influence them. The decision must be final and nobody should make an appeal regardless of who wins.

Better being an optimist than a pessimist. Always.

The surprise will be a new election to be held within 3 months. The PPP and PNC will be crying like babies because the AFC will be going into the election alone and they will win.

Be practical and realistic. GECOM cannot deliver elections results within 3 months, how can they hold another round within 3 months? Remember, people are clamoring for house-to-house registration and a revamped voters list. Consider: Claudette Singh may resign soon and a new GECOM Chairman has to be found. Don't forget how long it took to find a successor to Dr Steve Surujbally. Furthermore consider that the already stressed voters are suffering from elections fatigue. Finally, there's no way AFC can win general elections on its own strength.

Yes!  They can and YES! they will.  People are fed up with the PNC and the PPP.   If either of these two parties is elected then we are going to have more of the same.  This is my inspirational view.

It's time to accept the 'Status quo".  More Indians left the country than blacks. If 'apan jhat' continues then the coalition will always win.  All I can hope for is good governance.  Inclusiveness is a must and the AFC can provide that if they stop trying to destroy the PPP.   The inept Police Force must be revamped and the Ministers must do their jobs they are hired to do, not just follow the President around.

You reminded me of King Soloman who was about to divide a baby in two because two women can't decide who is the mother of that baby.

Mahama Ghandi and Mohamed Jinah divided India into Pakistan and Hindustan because Muslims and Hindus can't live together.

Now Labba wants to divide my country.  You have been revered.

Cancelled, until GECOM receives the Court of Appeal's final order. 

PPP/C is utilizing this time to try to get CCJ to issue an injunction to prevent GECOM and Lowenfield to declare.

BREAKING NEWS!!! PPP asks CCJ to strike down Appeal Court’s ruling

Jun 23, 2020 News 0 , Kaieteur News Online - https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...ppeal-courts-ruling/

Following a ruling of the Guyana Court of Appeal yesterday which would allow the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to calculate the results of the elections based on “valid votes”, the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) has sought appeal in the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) asking it to strike down the ruling in its entirety.

Due to this application, a meeting of the Elections Commission, scheduled for 11:00 am this morning, has been cancelled.

PPP General Secretary, Bharrat Jagdeo

While the matter in the Appeal Court was filed under Article 177 (4) of the Constitution, which gives the Court exclusive jurisdiction to rule on the validity of an election where the qualification of a person to become president or the interpretation of the Constitution is concerned, the PPP/C has argued that that Article of the Constitution is restrictive and does not allow the Court of Appeal the authority to rule in the way it did.

The application asks the Caribbean Court, in the interim, to grant an order restraining Chief Elections Officer, Keith Lowenfield from issuing his report on the elections, pursuant to Section 96 of the Representation of the People Act, or any other report based on the Court of Appeal’s ruling yesterday.

It also asks for an order restraining GECOM from taking any steps to determine “a final credible count” of the recounted elections results, or from enquiring into the validity or credibility of the votes cast, and an order restraining GECOM from usurping the exclusive authority of the High Court, as granted by Article 163 of the Constitution, to determine the lawful conduct of the elections.
