The main opposition A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) has filed its second petition challenging the March 2nd polls and is seeking to have the court nullify the outcome and to declare President Irfaan Ali to be illegally holding office.
In fact, through petitioners Monica Thomas and Brennan Nurse APNU+AFC wants the court to specifically order the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to declare its Presidential Candidate, David Granger, “the duly-elected President of Guyana in accordance with Article 177 of the Constitution.”
The results of a national recount of all ballots cast showed that it was the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) which had won the elections with 233,336 votes over the 217,920 which the APNU+AFC coalition managed to secure.
