On Monday August 9th, Justice Jo-Ann Barlow will rule on whether Chief Election Officer (CEO) Keith Lowenfield will be granted injunctive relief prohibiting the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) from hearing a notice of motion for his dismissal.
At the same time, she will also deliver her ruling on Lowenfield’s substantive Fixed Date Application (FDA) through which he moved to the High Court in a bid to bar government-nominated members of GECOM Sase Gunraj and Bibi Shadick from voting on the motion seeking to dismiss him.
When the case was called yesterday morning, attorney Nigel Hughes who represents Lowenfield, told the court that his client’s contention is not whether the Commission can terminate, as it has the power to so do.
