End of the line for dual citizens on electoral lists

Representative of the List for the APNU+AFC coalition Harold Lutchman is adamant that he cannot make decisions on who is on the list of candidates for the alliance but believes that the upcoming General Elections will see lists void of dual citizens.

“Following this court matter, I can say with some degree of confidence that none of the political parties will risk putting dual citizens on their list of representatives…,” Lutchman told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.

“Why? Because the law says so and they know it. They knew about it all the time but both sides ignored the Constitution and the outcome of the court case will reinforce that they were breaking the law…so I don’t think there will be any dual citizens,” he added.
