In a unanimous judgment, the Guyana Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal filed by Misenga Jones, who was seeking to have the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) prevented from using the results of the national recount to declare a winner of the March 2nd elections.
An appeal to the Carib-bean Court of Justice (CCJ) may, however, be likely as Jones’ attorneys were granted a one-day stay of the judgment, said to be for a review and instructions from their client on the way forward, despite objections over what exactly was being stayed.
Justices of Appeal Dawn Gregory and Rishi Persaud and High Court Judge Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday all dismissed Jones’ appeal as well as the cross appeal identical to hers filed by Attorney General Basil Williams.
