High Court judge Franklyn Holder has granted an injunction restraining the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) from authorising a recount of ballots cast at the March 2 elections based on the agreement between President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo.
The interim injunction, which was among four granted yesterday afternoon, effectively places a halt on any attempts at a recount of the ballots cast at the regional and general elections.
An independent high-level team from CARICOM had flown-in over the weekend to supervise the recount of ballots due to controversy over the tabulation of the votes cast for Region Four, which opposition parties as well as international and local observers say was not done in a transparent manner.
