CJ could rule Sunday on latest challenge to elections results

Chief Justice (Ag) Roxane George-Wiltshire SC

Acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire will commence hearing arguments at 2pm tomorrow and possibly rule on Sunday in the challenge seeking to block the Chairperson of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) from declaring the winner of the March 2nd polls.

This newest in a series of actions connected to the elections has been brought by Tucville resident Misenga Jones who wants the Chairperson to be prohibited from using the results of the national recount to declare a winner.

At a case management conference yesterday morning which was held virtually via Zoom and the Supreme Court’s first live broadcast, the judge set rigid timelines for an expeditious hearing as she underscored the national importance of the case.
