Claiming a likelihood of bias, Senior Counsel Stanley Marcus on behalf of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has asked that Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire recuse herself from hearing the challenge filed by chartered accountant Christopher Ram to the current house-to-house registration.
The matter is set to come up before the judge on Friday.
According to a press statement issued by Ram’s attorney, Anil Nandlall, at approximately 4 yesterday afternoon, an application was purportedly filed on behalf of the GECOM by Marcus, who requested that the Chief Justice recuse herself from hearing the matter.
