The PPP/C Government attained political office in circumstances in which the rule of law was under severe stress. The PPP and citizens of Guyana had to rely on the timely intervention of the Caribbean Court of Justice, the United States of America, Canada, Britain, Europe, Caricom, and the intrepid, courageous and resourceful diplomats of these countries resident in Guyana to ensure that democracy prevailed.
From December 2018 when the motion of no-confidence was passed in the National Assembly to March 2020, when the elections were held, Guyana’s constitution was egregiously violated by the APNU+AFC Government on the spurious excuse that it was awaiting court decisions. The Cabinet failed to resign. The Government failed to accept its caretaker status. The President abdicated to GECOM his responsibility to fix a date for elections within three months. The APNU+AFC Government told the nation, ‘duh wha yuh want.”
