No date yet for dissolution of parliament

President David Granger on Wednesday said that a date has not been set for the dissolution of parliament as his government has not breached any constitutional principle.

Subsequent to accepting the credentials of new Brazilian Ambassador Maria Clara Duclos Carisio at the Ministry of the Presidency, the president told reporters that there is no need for parliament to be dissolved now. “We discussed this matter at cabinet yesterday (Tuesday) and at this stage, there is no constitutional requirement to dissolve parliament,” Granger said.

He added that they are further awaiting the advice of the Attorney General but emphasised that no constitutional principles have been breached.
