Georgetown: The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has scheduled a single hearing for the Guyana elections recount case that will be heard Wednesday.
The hearing started at 9:00 am on Wednesday concerns a case filed in Guyana’s Appeal Court by Eslyn David against the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).
David had asked the Appeal Court to rule on a number of issues regarding the credibility of the General and Regional Elections.
Among other things, the Court of Appeal had ruled that in determining the results of the elections, the country’s Chief Elections Officer, Keith Lowenfield, must do so based on who received the most “valid” votes. The ruling came after a CARICOM – supervised recount exercise which showed that the PPP/C has over 15,000 votes ahead of the incumbent A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC)
Responding parties in the matter which included the PPP/C held that the Court lacked jurisdiction to even hear the matter and subsequently appealed to the CCJ.
