Commonwealth Secretary-General, Patricia Scotland yesterday urged President David Granger and “all relevant stakeholders and institutions” to restore constitutional rule in Guyana by immediately setting an early election date in accordance with its constitution, enabling elections to be held without further delay.
It was the latest round of pressure on Granger and his beleaguered APNU+AFC administration who have already been taken to task on this matter by the US, the UK, the European Union and the Bar Council of the Guyana Bar Association.
In a statement yesterday, the Commonwealth said that the Secretary-General has taken note of the 18 June 2019 ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) and its consequential orders of 12 July 2019.
