Mingo looks fit and proper.

Dave please post the link for the hearing. 

SO, what all that legal speak mean?

Django posted the link. Too much legal jargon for my old brain. 

So who won and who lost? I dozed off listening to the monotone on the video.

Recount will be done for Region 4 but RO has discretion on whether to restart or continue the process. 

Any previous declaration is considered null and void. 

Thanks Rochelle.

PPP/C wants to get party representatives in the room. The judge isn't having it.

GECOM has the discretion to determine who will be in the room as party representatives.

Recount for Region 4 must comply with the process under Sections 84, Representation of the People Act, 1964, Guyana Laws.

@Former Member:

If you can, would you please post Sections 84 and 86? I just got back from some errands. Thanks, bro.

@Former Member Thanks DG!

The same RO who hijacked the election now has jurisdiction or she talking about a different RO?  Too many PNC people work at GECOM.
