It's 5.15 pm any ruling, come on somebody talk nah!

Cummings-Edwards still giving her opinion. No final ruling yet.

Chancellor to break tie on validity of NCM

Chancellor of the Judiciary Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards will break the tie on the validity of the no-confidence motion which was passed in the National Assembly on December 21, 2018.

The three judges of the Court of Appeal are currently handing down their rulings.

So far, Justice Rishi Persaud ruled that the motion was passed by the 33 majority, upholding the ruling of the Chief Justice.

On the other hand, Justice Dawn Gregory ruled that the motion was not passed as it needed a 34 majority. The Chancellor is up next.

Government wins the appeal.

Oh well if true the Carter Center did say that if they win the appeal(s) then the NCV is invalid.

Now will Jagdeo rush to the same CCJ he was lambasting when the Coalition used this as an option?

I had expected those two judges to have looked for some reason to rule in favor of APNU, but I did not think it would have been on the "majority" issue. I still believe this is the weakest and most ridiculous argument. 

Do fuh do nah obeah. Jagdeo bribe Charrandass and Granger bribe de judges. Guyana jokie. Hahaha

No. We're going all the way to the Supreme Court of India.

The Court of Appeals has ruled in Favour of APNU/AFC. 2-1. PPP said it will appeal the ruling to the CCJ.

That's not what Carib wants to hear.

You might take up Prashad's offer to set up a homeland.  The New River area is empty so no one will be disturbed.

Not sure if India wants you all as almost 200 years of living around blacks has made you all too different for them.  So the Supreme Court will not take up your wails of all the "problems" f living with blackman.

Looks like you have 14 months left to endure that torture.

Article 106(6) of the constitution reads : The cabinet including the President shall resign if the government is defeated by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.

Note, it does not say Absolute Majority. 

Voting Theory for Majority Rule.

1. If the number of votes (n) is an even number, then the majority is n/2 + 1.

2. If the number of votes (n) is an odd number, then the  majority is (n + 1) /2.

The number of all elected members are 65. An odd number. 

(65 + 1)/2 = 33.

Conclusion, the Chief Justice was correct. Two of the Justices on the Appeal Court was wrong.

The coalition government had the right to appeal.

The opposition will now appeal to the CCJ.

Eventually , whether in 2019 or 2020, the citizens of Guyana will decide who will govern them.

Long live democracy.

Go and read my earlier posts and I predicted that this is exactly what the PPP would do.  Despite the screams from some PPP frauds that this group of black people will rule in favor of APNU.

How ironic.

One can ponder about how long the CCJ will take to opine on this.

"..majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly.."

The fundamental issue of that specific part of the constitution.

Hence ... 33 is the majority of 65.

If however the number of MPs were 66 ...

then indeed 34 would be the majority.

It appears that the decision was made with the intentions that by the time the CCJ makes its decision, it will coincide with elections in 2020.

Well played pnc, they defied the laws of logic and proved that 34 is the majority of 65.  You have to give it to them, they beat Jagdeo like a school boy.

Racism is coloured in the judicial system, one wonder, Trying Devil in HELL.

I opined in 2015 that the PNC will return to their old ways and refuse to surrender power if they were to get into government. I am now one for one. I will opine now that the PNC will not hold elections next year. We will see how that goes.

Is there any “absolute majority” language in the relevant article referenced in Constitution regarding this issue of NCV.

Absolutely not.

There is specific reference to majority; not absolute majority in Section 106, subsection (6) noted in the earlier comments to BGMan.

Shows half and half dead still is one whole.  They will get kicked out in the next election whenever that is!

Banna, if there was, we would not be in court!  Burnham left it vague so he can decide when and how.

So the Budget and any other matters would require 34 votes to pass. Now they need to clean the house and chase out all the dual citizens.

Of course, any dummy would bet that it would come down to party/race affiliation by the justices. Two blacks/pnc and one indo/ppp, who you think will win?  Same with gecom, a reoccurring theme,  party affiliated decisions. The US is no different as we see in the supreme court, congress and the senate. 

Why isn't Williams arguing that more than two Appellate Court judges are necessary to overturn the NCV. 2 cannot be a majority of 3 if 33 is not a majority of 65.

Except in the US, people don't resort to violence and unrest as the PNC supporters do in Guyana. I take that back. We did have situations like the 1988 Miami riots, the 1992 L.A. riots or the Ferguson ones a few years ago.

Because all of a sudden Nigel Hughes is the legal massa and all of them are listening to him.
