It is becoming tiresome to listen (28 days after an election) from the incumbents trying to explain why there is no need to clarify the overall votes because they won and you should only complain after Granger and cabal are sworn in!!

They make an ass out of the law and the legal system while blaming those opposing them as racists and accomplices of international ABCE powers that want to destabilise a sovereignty!

All of this while overlooking the fact of their own actions and interactions with the elections commission that they claim are independent but complicit in engineering their ‘victory’ without ascertaining the total vote count for a complete region!!

Basil Williams flip flops from GECOM from being autonomous and able to make its own rules and procedures to then being subject to judicial review depending on who is filing the case as in the Moore case as opposed to the Hollander one (which he called propaganda 3 weeks ago after he himself declared prematurely that APNUAFC won the 2020 elections without Clairmont Mingo ascertaining the remaining SOP count)!!

Their Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement from Friday clearly states “the coalition government will remain in office (place) until a successor has been declared and sworn into place.....” Is this some fictional point in the alternate future as nothing they do will enable this to become reality?

Maybe at some date in our actual future they may decide to complete the democratic process, or even recognise the cabinet was automatically resigned last year, but until then we shouldn’t hold our breathe and our expectation of them may / should be that they only observe the extracts of the constitution and laws that suit their needs and screw the rest of the people and the country!!

Will the CJ take back control in the courts today or will the duplicity extend to Justice Holder enabling Clairmont Mingo to be the only opinion that counts in Guyana in the 21st century heist of a Commonwealth country!!

PPP’s PRESS STATEMENT

The ultimate objective of any judicial system is to resolve disputes in accordance with law. Any time a Court obstructs, rather than facilitate the resolution of a dispute before it, in any form or fashion, that Court would be departing from its conceptual role and indeed, its constitutional duty. The very survival of Guyana, as a Nation State, being part of the civilized and free world, is currently before the Courts of Guyana.

The quintessential issue of controversy is whether a recount of the ballots cast should be done. The law says that it is a mandatory facility available to any political party desirous of a recount. This request for a recount, made by eight (8) political parties, was denied for the most dubious reasons by a Returning Officer, whose credibility is damaged beyond redemption. Every major local organization has called for this recount. So, have all the political parties contesting the polls, including, the APNU+AFC. Every accredited international Observer Team has done similarly. Almost every diplomatic mission in Guyana and the Governments that they represent have called for this recount. CARICOM has gone as far as brokering an agreement between the President and the Leader of the Opposition to facilitate this recount and in this regard, an Aide Memoire was signed by the nation’s two foremost leaders to give effect to this recount.

The Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has given an undertaking to the Court, orally and in the form of a sworn Affidavit, to conduct this recount. The Chairperson, a former Appellate Court Judge, has submitted to the Court that GECOM has made a decision to conduct this recount; she emphasized that GECOM has the constitutional power and mandate to carry out this recount. She reminded the Court that GECOM is an autonomous independent body, exclusively charged with the responsibility to conduct elections. She has pleaded a case for GECOM to be allowed to discharge that mandate and has confirmed that GECOM was in the process of so doing, when injuncted by the Court. She implores the Court to recognize that GECOM must at all times act with fairness and impartiality and that it is imperative that GECOM be allowed to do so in a manner that will continue to inspire public confidence in the electoral machinery and the results generated therefrom.

The world has said to Guyana that no government, which assumes Office through the current declaration of the Region 4 results, would enjoy legitimacy and that a repertoire of sanctions will be unleashed upon Guyana, and personally against those who aided and abetted in the derailing of democracy at these elections.

Against this backdrop, why would a Court stand in the way of such an imminent resolution of the dispute before it by the authorized constitutional agency? In such a circumstance, any Court that hinders the resolution of this dispute becomes part of the problem and not the solution. The fair, just and expedient thing for a Court to do in these circumstances, is to hold its hands, while the constitutional institution discharges its mandate. After all, no Court has the jurisdiction to give legitimacy to that which is plainly illegitimate.
