Court of Appeal does have finality in limited circumstances but not in David case – CCJ

On Wednesday the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) delivered its judgment invalidating the ruling of the Guyana Court of Appeal on valid votes, which essentially paved the way for GECOM to finally declare a result for the March 2nd general elections using the figures from the recount. 

If the reasoning of the apex court is to be followed and applied the PPP/C would be the victors over the incumbent APNU+AFC and its presidential candidate Irfaan Ali would be declared the next president of the Guyana.

Today marks two days since the apex court handed down its decision but there has been no clarity from the elections commission on the way forward as regards giving effect to the CCJ’s ruling.
