An application by defence counsel for some of the 2020 elections fraud accused, for access to GECOM minutes has triggered another delay in the long-awaited hearing of the case.
Magistrate Leron Daly yesterday ruled that the argument raised by defence counsel Nigel Hughes that the absence of Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) minutes for the period in question would deny a fair trial to his clients: former Chief Election Officer (CEO), Keith Lowenfield and Deputy CEO, Roxanne Myers had merit.
The magistrate therefore ruled that matter would have to be referred to the High Court and she adjourned the case to April 2, 2024.
