If the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) upholds the validity of the no-confidence motion against the government that was declared passed last December, the opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) will be “pressuring” the administration for the holding of early elections, party General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo vowed yesterday.
“….We will have to keep pressuring the [David] Granger government to hold early elections. We will have to go back on the streets. We’ll have to get the international community to put pressure on them. We’ll have to do every single thing to ensure that they hold early elections, that they don’t use GECOM as an excuse because they’re scared of election,” Jagdeo said as he received applause from a crowd of over 100 persons at Robert Square, Enmore, East Coast Demerara, where a meeting was held to honour the lives of the Enmore Martyrs.
Jagdeo told the crowd even if the ruling does not go in the party’s favour, it will still be campaigning and working in hopes that all Guyanese play a role in changing the current administration. “Whatever the outcome is on Tuesday, we’ll be strong and ready,” he added.
