Dear Editor,
Further to my letter published in Stabroek News yesterday headed `Guyana constitution requires only a majority for the no confidence motion to pass’, I wish to draw attention to this extract from paragraph 51 of the Kilman v Speaker of Parliament of the Republic of Vanuatu judgment:
“…the absolute majority is to be assessed against 51 members of Parliament of which a majority, simple or absolute, is 26.”
51 divided by 2 is 25.5 and 26 is considered a majority, simple or absolute!
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)
