Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo, Tuesday led supporters of the main opposition People\u2019s Progressive Party (PPP) in a demonstration near the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) calling for fresh general and regional elections, as the government made good on its plan to file an appeal against a High Court ruling that re-affirmed its downfall following a vote of no confidence last month.<\/p>

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

GECOM is meeting Tuesday amid speculation that it could announce when general elections could be held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u201cIf elections are not held by March 19, from that day forward, this government becomes illegal and unconstitutional\u201d, Jagdeo told supporters in keeping with the Guyana Constitution that states elections must be held 90 days after the government is defeated in a vote of no confidence.<\/p>

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

Jagdeo had on December 21 last year, successfully tabled the motion that led to the downfall of the three and a half year old David Granger led coalition, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) administration.<\/p>

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

Last week, acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire ruled that the motion, which had received the support of then government backbencher, Charrandass Persaud, was valid and that the government ought to have resigned immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Attorney General, Basil Williams, in appealing the ruling, said that Justice George-Wiltshire \u201cerred and misdirected herself in law\u201d when she ruled that the no-confidence motion was validly passed by an absolute majority of 33 to 32 parliamentarians in keeping with Guyana\u2019s constitution.<\/p>

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

The APNU coalition had previously enjoyed a one \u2013seat majority in the 65 member National Assembly and since the High Court ruling, Jagdeo has called on Granger to name the date for the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams, who named House Speaker Dr. Barton Scotland and Jagdeo as the respondents, is arguing also that Justice George-Wiltshire \u201cerred and misdirected herself in law\u201d when she ruled that the Speaker\u2019s ruling that the motion of no-confidence was carried by a vote of a majority of all the elected members.<\/p>

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

The Attorney General is also of the opinion that the High Court\u2019s \u201cdecision was unreasonable and cannot be supported having regard to the evidence.\u201d<\/p>

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

The government has already indicated that it intends to appeal all the way to the Trinidad-based Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), the country\u2019s final court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GECOM is meeting s Commission is meeting as both the government and the opposition remain at odds over whether there should first be house-to-house registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government\u2019s three elections commissioners are calling for house-to-house registration while the opposition maintains that elections must be held no later than March 20, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they made their way to the GECOM building, PPP supporters armed with placards chanted \u201cthe clock is ticking\u201d. A police cordon prevented them from getting closer to the GECOM building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagdeo warned that the protest is the first of activities to force GECOM and the government to name the date for the polls and dismissed speculation that GECOM\u2019s timeline could result in the elections being held in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagdeo told reporters that he wanted GECOM to understand that the proposed timelines are not tenable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have, as a Constitutional body, to respect our Constitution and now that the legislature has spoken and the Judiciary has spoken, they need to follow the timelines imposed by our constitution,\u201d he said, adding that GECOM needs to be working in an accelerated manner to meet the three month deadline for the hosting of elections after a successful no confidence vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jagdeo said he believes an internal process could be used to rid the list of those voters who might have died since the last elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI heard this argument about young people being disenfranchised, but you know the continuous registration starts with getting your registered from the time you are 14-years-old, and so they could have extracted those names of persons who will be 18 by election day and put them on the list\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Private Sector Commission (PSC), the main umbrella private sector body here, is calling for the elections to be held within the 90-day period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must underline the fact that when the Attorney General sought a Conservatory Order from the Chief Justice to preserve the \u201cstatus quo ante\u201d, his application was rejected by the Chief Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClearly, therefore, in the view of the Commission, her ruling remains in place unless successfully appealed in a superior court. The Commission, as a consequence, expects the President and his government to respect and honour the decision of the Chief Justice and to proceed to have elections held no later than March 21st as required by Article 106(7) of the Constitution,\u201d the PSC said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSC said it was also concerned that government officials were making statements that the work of the present administration continues as normal and warned that the Caribbean country could be approaching a period of political instability characterised by an illegal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Private Sector Commission speaks not only for the business community with hundreds of billions invested in the development of our economy and the employment of some 60 per cent of our workforce. \u201cIn this case, we believe that we speak for the majority of the nation when we express our concern over public statements which deny the express ruling of the Chief Justice; statements which could lead our country into a situation of grave instability and an illegal government resulting,\u201d the PSC said.<\/p>\n
