The case involving former Chief Election Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield; former Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO), Roxanne Myers; and former Region Four Returning Officer (RO), Clairmont Mingo, among others, accused of electoral fraud, has been adjourned until May 29. This delay comes as the High Court continues to address constitutional issues raised in the lower court.
In yesterday’s session at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Leron Daly, defence attorney, Nigel Hughes, informed the court that the Constitutional matter regarding “fair hearing,” is still under consideration by the High Court.
Lowenfield and Myers have filed constitutional proceedings, seeking declarations that Section 140(2) of the Representation of the People’s Act is unconstitutional. These proceedings are currently engaging the attention of the Chief Justice.
