Lawsuit for disclosure of Irfaan Ali’s academic qualifications likely to be aborted

President Irfaan Ali

The challenge mounted for the disclosure of Irfaan Ali’s academic credentials ahead of his becoming president is still pending although counsel for the applicants has said that they are not likely to proceed.

On February 28th, Justice Franklyn Holder had deferred a ruling on an application made by then Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo to strike out the lawsuit calling on him to disclose the academic credentials of the then PPP/C presidential candidate, Ali.

Two Sundays ago, Ali was sworn in as President and Jagdeo his Vice President following the official declaration by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) that the PPP/C had won the March 2nd polls.
