Facing a Monday deadline for government and the opposition to agree on the way forward following the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) decision that the December 21 no-confidence vote against the APNU+AFC administration was valid, President David Granger yesterday was tightlipped on government’s proposals.
Adamant that the next general elections cannot be held with the old list of electors, Granger told reporters that he will be writing Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo for a meeting next week, to discuss consultations for a new Guyana Elections Com-mission (GECOM) Chairman.
“I will write to him and as soon as he is available, maybe as early as next week, I will write to him this week, inviting him to resume the consultations which are mandated under the Constitution,” Granger said on the sidelines of accepting the letters of credence for Zana Rudi, Kosovo’s ambassador to Guyana. The event was held at the Ministry of the Presidency.
