PPP executive Zulfikar Mustapha says that the defence submitted by the Attorney General in the legal challenge to the appointment of retired judge James Patterson as Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) Chairman clearly shows that his selection was unconstitutional.
“It is clear that not only is the appointment… lacking in constitutionality and legality and Mr. Justice Patterson himself lacking in integrity, but attempts to defend both the appointment and him are themselves lacking in veracity, credibility and substance,” he says in an affidavit in reply, which was prepared by his attorney, Anil Nandlall, on Tuesday.
Last month, Mustapha filed an application in the High Court asking for Patterson’s appointment to be overturned.
