THE AFC ELECTION PETITION

Jul 26, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
The AFC election petition was dismissed on the application by the court of the firmly established principle that the procedural rules governing the filing of election petition has to be strictly complied with.
The court applied that principle to non-compliance with the procedural rules governing election petitions. Neither the principle nor the non-compliance was “contrived” by the court.
Mr. Alexander’s statement in the Stabroek News Column under the caption “The Time has come to break my silence on the Boodoo affair” to the effect that the court dismissed “the first case on contrived technical grounds” is mischievous and constitutes a contempt of court in that it tends to bring the due administration of justice into disrepute and to cast aspersions on the Judicial integrity of the presiding judge.
It is to the credit of the Stabroek News that in its publication of Mr. Alexander’s letter on July 11, 2013 (same date as the Kaieteur News publication), the offensive word “contrived” was wisely deleted by the editor.
