In the wake of President David Granger’s unilateral appointment of former Justice James Patterson as Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday said that his party has immediately pulled back from co-operation with the APNU+AFC government.
He has also promised to move to the local courts and the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), if necessary, to quash Granger’s decision, even as his party informs the citizenry and international community of actions he believes are unconstitutional.

The Opposition Leader informed that on Tuesday afternoon
