Monica Thomas and Brennan Nurse, the petitioners in whose names the main opposition APNU+AFC sought to challenge the results of the March 2nd, 2020 polls, have moved to appeal the decision by the Chief Justice to throw out the case.
On January 18th, acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC threw out one of the two petitions brought on behalf of the coalition because the APNU+AFC presidential candidate David Granger was not served on time.
Thomas and Nurse were contending in their petition that the elections were unlawfully conducted and/or that the results (if lawfully conducted) were affected or might have been affected by unlawful acts or omissions. They nonetheless argue that from those polls it is Granger who should be declared the duly-elected President of Guyana.
