The leader of the main opposition New Democratic Party (NDP), Dr. Godwin Friday, Monday described as \u201cwishful thinking\u201d any suggestion that the party would abandon its court challenge to the outcome of the 2015 general elections.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Friday told a news conference that his party is still confident of victory in the courts where it is challenging two successful seats won by the ruling Unity Labour Party (ULP) of Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, giving it a fourth consecutive term in office. The ULP won the December 9, 2015 poll by a slender one seat majority, the same margin it achieved in the previous election when it won by 8-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NDP\u2019s Lauron \u201cSharer\u201d Baptiste and Benjamin Exeter are challenging the election of the ULP\u2019s Montgomery Daniel and Sir Louis Straker in North Windward and Central Leeward constituencies.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The party is asking the High Court to declare its candidates the winners of the elections in the contested districts or to order fresh elections there.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we have been pursuing this so vigorously. Of course we believe in the strength of our case, the petitioners believe in the strength of the case, the lawyers believe in the strength of the case. But ultimately that will be a matter for the courts to decide and we will present the best evidence that we can, the best arguments\u2026.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal y, citing bias by the trial judge, Justice Brian Cottle, reinstated the election petitions and the matter was due to have come up for hearing late last year, but the new judge Esco Henry recused herself not before setting February 11 as the new date.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs you know we had a situation where the matter had been struck out\u2026it was reinstated with the instructions that it be done expeditiously,\u201d Friday told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are now at a point where we have had the third date for the trial. Subsequent to the setting of that date Justice Henry recused herself from the case and this created some concern as to the readiness of (her) replacement \u2026to be ready for the February 11 date.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been proceeding on that basis and we have had nothing to indicate that there is any reason to say that it is not going to be heard on that day.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Friday said that there is a service hearing scheduled for January 24 \u201cand we will know better how the judge is thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs to the question of time passing and whether \u2026this in any way reducing or affecting our commitment to the case, absolutely not. This is a matter that we have been committed to as a matter of principle,\u201d Friday said, adding that while there will be future general elections here \u201cwe have to guarantee confidence in that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t do it then we would have failed in our duty to the people of this country,\u201d he said, adding that confidence in the electoral system will only come \u201cif the mechanisms that are there to challenge irregularities\u2026are used and seen through to their conclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attorney Kay Bacchus-Baptiste, a member of the NDP, said that the petitions \u2018are very important to the future of elections in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and for the right of free and fair elections by secret ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said in the 2015 elections, \u201cover 300 ballots which should not have been counted were counted\u201d and that the ballot was \u201cpoorly designed and led to a breach of the secrecy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of you would have seen pictures of those ballots\u2026but we have no doubt that the strength of our case ..(we) are going to prevail,\u201d she told reporters.<\/p>\n
