The multiple proceedings against Chief Election Officer, Keith Lowenfield, Region Four Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo and PNCR chairwoman Volda Lawrence, based on their alleged criminal conduct during elections processes last year, have again been adjourned as more statements are awaited from the prosecution.
The three have been charged with various offences stemming from their conduct during the finalisation of last year’s elections results.
Lowenfield, who is facing three charges of misconduct in public office and three counts of forgery, made his appearance on Wednesday, while Mingo and Lawrence appeared at court on Thursday.
It was related to this newspaper that the three received statements but that all the statements have not yet been filed, hence the adjournments.
Mingo has been individually and jointly charged with forgery and conspiracy to defraud in relation to events that followed the March 2, 2020 general and regional elections. Mingo was charged along with Lawrence with one count of conspiring to commit fraud. Mingo is also charged with four counts of misconduct in public office. Additionally, Mingo is also jointly charged with APNU+AFC agent Carol Joseph. Together they were jointly charged with one count of forgery and they are each also facing two counts of conspiracy to defraud.
