Members and supporters of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday picketed the High Court for the proceedings on its elections petition to be expedited.

Bearing a placard that read, “Justice delayed, is justice denied,” PPP General Secretary

Clement Rohee called for a date to be fixed for the hearing of the petition, which was filed shortly after his party lost last year’s general and regional elections to the APNU+AFC coalition. The PPP has since claimed that the elections were rigged.

“We feel this is a grave injustice that was done to the electorate and the PPP supporters. As far as we are concerned, justice delayed, is justice denied…,” Rohee said.
