Ralph Gonsalves

New CARICOM Chair Ralph Gonsalves yesterday urged respect of Wednesday’s Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruling by all stakeholders and he said he expected an early declaration by GECOM of the result of the March 2nd general elections.

Gonsalves’ statement underlines CARICOM’s resolve  to ensure that a free and fair elections result is declared and picks up from where former Chair, Barbadian Prime Minister, Mia Mottley had left off.

Gonsalves, the Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, said that CARICOM welcomes the progress towards the finalising of the electoral process here following the ruling of the CCJ on Wednesday.

“The Community calls on all stakeholders to respect the ruling of the CCJ, Guyana’s final court of appeal”, he said.
