The filing of a Constitutional Motion maybe the next step to blocking Local and General Elections and securing an extension in the Presidential office for another two years. We have been reliability informed that two overseas based Guyanese are preparing to file this motion through some lawyers in the local courts. This motion seeks to have challenge the lack of system for overseas voting and among their arguments would be that they have been disenfranchised by lack of such a system.
The chief culprits behind this act?
1.The man who recently wrote an article in the Mirror about overseas based Guyanese need to vote is the one touted to be drafting the legal arguments.
2. The man who has been saying that he will never agree to a third term but whose emoluments have increased significantly and will continue to do so in the up coming years.
3. The power drunk visitor to Guyana who has been denying that he will stay in that office.
The repercussions ?
Well the Guyana Elections Commission will have to stall its programme for the holding of Local Government Elections until the Court matter has been heard.
It will also in the mean time to have start registration of overseas based Guyanese.
The Country will have to wait until that process is over before Local and General Elections could proceed.
Given our court system and the back log who knows when this matter will be heard !
