Former Jamaica Prime Minister , who headed the Organization of American States (OAS) election observer mission to Guyana, has said that the behaviour of government functionaries has raised “serious doubts” over whether they will accept the ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) that has prevented the Chief Election Officer (CEO) from invalidating over 115,000 votes from the March 2nd polling.
“It is now left for the Elections Commission in Guyana to declare officially the result of the elections based on the recount and for those who are claiming massive fraud to pursue that matter if they so choose through the established legal process which is through an election petition.
“The big question of course is whether the incumbent government is going to recognise and respect and accept the decision of the CCJ. The behaviour of the functionaries of the government up to now raises serious doubt,” Golding said in an interview with Jamaica’s Nationwide Radio on Wednesday after the CCJ handed down the decision.
