Court gives Persaud 14 days to clarify elections petition

The opposition PPP/C’s Ganga Persaud has 14 days to file an affidavit in answer to a summons from the representative of the APNU+AFC candidates’ list Harold Lutchman seeking “further and better particulars” from the elections petition he has filed challenging the results of the May 11th polls.

Meanwhile, Lutchman would be given seven days in which to file a reply.

The summons was filed last week.

The case is being heard in-chambers by acting Chief Justice Ian Chang and will be called again on August 24 at 1PM,
