During the period between the passing of the vote of no confidence in the previous Government on 21 December 2018 and the swearing in of the President Irfaan Ali on 2 August 2020, we had carried a total of 40 articles on the election-rated matters, including the outcomes of the various court cases that were filed. These articles have been published in book form under the caption “Triumph of Democracy and the Rule of Law: Guyana 2020 Elections and their Aftermath”. In the Afterword to the publication, we had also discussed the Chief Justice ruling on the two petitions challenging the declared results of the 2020 elections.
Last Monday, the Guyana Court of Appeal comprising Chancellor of the Judiciary Yonette Cummings-Edwards, Justice Rishi Persaud and Justice Dawn Gregory, unanimously disallowed the appeal against the Chief Justice ruling on Petition 88/2020, which for the completeness of our coverage and analysis of the 2020 election-related matters, is the subject of today’s article.
