“Both Government and Opposition have a responsibility to maintain order and safeguard our nation’s stability and peace,” the Guyana Trades Union Congress (GTUC) has said in a statement, alluding to the period of uncertainty to follow the no-confidence vote against government.
The GTUC, in a release, referenced the sections of the Constitution that govern the passing of a no-confidence motion against government, outlining what is to be expected after such a vote is passed.
It noted that even with provisions made within the clauses for the President and his accompanying Cabinet to resign following a majority vote, the Constitution makes no reference to a “caretaker government”, but instead, makes allowances for the government to continue functioning within the interim.
