Alexander says advice from AG’s Chambers stopped CARICOM-supervised recount
– Not Ulita Moore’s injunctions
Commissioner, Vincent Alexander
Commissioner Vincent Alexander said it is his understanding that it was not the Court that stopped the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) from conducting the CARICOM-supervised recount.
Instead, he said it was advice received by GECOM from the Attorney General’s Chambers.
GECOM had been contemplating a recount supervised by CARICOM, premised on an agreement between President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo.
However, GECOM had halted those plans, after receiving a series of interim injunctions from the Court, requested by APNU+AFC candidate, Ulita Moore.
This is the first time it is coming to public knowledge that the AG’s Chambers advised against conducting the CARICOM-supervised recount.
