President invites Opposition Leader for talks
President David Granger has invited Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo to discuss the political situation. Jagdeo was notified of this in a letter from Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency, Joseph Harmon, dated June 20, 2019.

Jagdeo had responded favourably to these rulings. But the President, while maintaining that he respects the rulings, has said that he has had difficulty seeing how his appointment of Patterson was flawed.
The two sides are at odds over several other critical issues. The Opposition Leader would like to see elections within three months, and the President prefers that House-to-House Registration happens in order to dissuade his worries about an Official List of Electors (OLE) he determined to be unclean.
Supporters of the governing coalition have turned out countrywide to call for House-to-House registration, and the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has kicked into campaign mode.
As the meeting is to be held on the same day when the CCJ will give the Consequential Orders on the No Confidence Cases, it is expected that this meeting will begin to bridge the political divide and bring consensual solutions to the issues, which the country now faces.
