The March 16th Aide Memoire governing the recount of votes at the March 2nd general elections at which a CARICOM team was to be present had recognised the supremacy of the constitution in this matter (see below).
The agreement clinched between President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo also recognised that the CARICOM team would function under the authority of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM). The agreement was witnessed by CARICOM Secretary-General Irwin LaRocque.
