Hearing set for appeal of decision to throw out second election petition

The Guyana Court of Appeal

The Guyana Court of Appeal has set February 8th, 2023 at 9:30 am for hearing of  an appeal of the dismissal of the second petition challenging the results of the March 2nd, 2020 General and Regional elections.

With the Court and all the parties confirming at a case management conference (CMC) yesterday morning that they are now in possession of the full record of appeal, the hearing date was announced.

The long-awaited written ruling of acting Chief Justice Roxane George SC throwing out the petition, had stalled the matter for almost two years, and had seen the petitioners presenting a motion back in October for an urgent hearing.
