The opposition People’s Progressive Party (PPP) yesterday rejected President David Granger’s insistence on his selected candidates being included on Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo’s final list of nominees for the post Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) Chairperson, calling it a misinterpretation of the judgment of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
The party further accused Granger of “flip flopping” on the court’s rulings, while saying that it calls into question his sincerity in the discharge of his constitutional role in the process.
These pronouncements were made in a statement yesterday in wake of Granger’s comments during a televised interview with Deputy Director of the Press and Publicity Unit of the Ministry of the Presidency, Ariana Gordon, in which he declared that he will resist any attempt to deny him input in the list of six “not unacceptable” candidates for consideration for the post.
