Following opposition leader Bharrat Jagdeo’s request that Cabinet immediately resign in keeping with the constitutional provisions triggered by the passage of the no-confidence motion against government, President David Granger has said that Attorney General Basil Williams is handling it.
On June 20th, more than a month after the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruled that the December 21st no-confidence motion against government was validly passed, Jagdeo wrote Granger, requesting that he and his Cabinet resign forthwith in accordance with the June 18th decision and the July 12th consequential orders.
In the letter, released to the press, Jagdeo also urged the president to issue a proclamation dissolving the 11th Parliament and fixing a date for regional and general elections not beyond September 18th, 2019.
