According to the DG, the Head of State has always remained open to engagements with the Opposition Leader as it relates to the developments of the country. This, Harmon said, has provided an opportunity for the two of them to meet.
“Certainly, it will have to be at the convenience of both parties and a letter to that extent will be delivered or dispatched to the Leader of the Opposition later on in the day,” he noted.
DG Harmon explained that while there is no specific agenda for the meeting, the letter serves to demonstrate President Granger’s commitment to “engagement and dialogue” with the Opposition Leader in the interest of the development of Guyana.
On Tuesday, the Caribbean Court of Justice ruled that the December 21, 2018 vote was validly passed.
