The incumbent APNU+ AFC coalition yesterday both challenged the legality of the ongoing national recount of votes from the March 2 elections and also committed to abiding by its results.
Speaking with media outside the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) at Liliendaal, Attorney General Basil Williams argued that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) does not have the power to render the declarations made by the 10 Returning Officers, including Region Four’s Clairmont Mingo, illegitimate.
“All 10 declarations are valid and subsisting and under our law, the only way they could be rendered nugatory is by a decision of an election petition and so it comes to the other status, question and purpose of the national recount,” Williams said, while arguing that the elections have been substantially completed.
Looks like they preparing to litigate down this line. This coming from the man declaring 33 is not the majority in 65.
