CJ to rule January 18 on fate of election petitions

On January 18th acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC will deliver her ruling on whether the two election petitions filed by A Part-nership for National Unity + Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) will be thrown out or not. 

The judge made the announcement following the conclusion of arguments yesterday morning.

Arguing on behalf of the petitioners in both matters, Trinidadian senior counsel John Jeremie said that contrary to arguments  made by the attorney general and attorney for PPP/C General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo, service of the petition was effected within time and so the petitions should not be dismissed.
