Guyanese could return to the polls later this year in an early general election after Tuesday's decision by the opposition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) to support the Alliance For Change’s (AFC) no-confidence motion against the Donald Ramotar administration.

The Constitution states that on the House's approval of a no-confidence motion, the President and Cabinet have to resign and make way for general and regional elections within three months.

Yeah bisram had promised them the majority the last time. Their own internal polls are saying they may barely be able to scrape a plurality of the votes and even that is sketchy.

You are living in lala land and the more the PPP continues to live in never never land the harder they will fall and thats a good thing.

General election looms

as APNU decides to support

AFC's no-confidence motion...

Tuesday, 05 August 2014 18:54
Written by Denis Scott Chabrol

Parliament Building where the opposition's no-confidence motion will be debated and more than likely passed.

The Constitution states that on the House's approval of a no-confidence motion, the President and Cabinet have to resign and make way for general and regional elections within three months.

“The position of the Shadow Cabinet is to give support to the AFC…we have resolved to support it and we have to discuss it further with our own partners who have not yet been informed of our decision,” Opposition Leader, David Granger told Demerara Waves Online News shortly after wrapping up a Shadow Cabinet meeting.

The AFC has already formally informed President Donald Ramotar that it would be going ahead with the no-confidence motion because of the alleged unauthorized spending of billions of dollars from the Consolidated Fund on projects and programmes that have been already disapproved by the opposition-controlled House during consideration of the 2014 estimates of expenditures. Pending in the House is the approval of a Statement of Excesses for GUY$4.5 billion dollars that have been already spent so far.

Now that Granger's parliamentary coalition has agreed to support the motion, which was submitted by the AFC on August 1, he said the next step would be internal consultations among APNU’s partners and another round of talks with the AFC to fine-tune the text of the motion. “We will have to work out with the AFC the full text. What we have is enough but we need to maybe flesh it out a little bit more but the whole idea is that in principle we have agreed to support the AFC," he said.

With the 65-seat House expected to go into recess later this month, Granger expects parliamentarians to debate and approve the motion around October when sittings resume. With the APNU deciding to add its 26 seats to the AFC’s seven, the motion is expected to be approved and so leave the governing People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) out in the cold with its 32 seats.

President Ramotar has repeatedly said that he is not afraid of going to back to the polls earlier than the constitutional deadline of 2016 to seek a fresh mandate from the electorate. Passage of the no-confidence motion would trigger the resignation of the President and his Cabinet and a return to the polls.

The Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) has already begun preparing a Voters List which would be valid until October 31, 2014. The PPPC and government have questioned the motive behind the electoral management body preparing the voters roll in the absence of an announcement by the President.

The Opposition Leader dismissed suggestions that APNU had attached conditions such as a pre-electoral alliance before deciding to lend its support to the motion.

Granger said APNU did not believe that an AFC complaint to the police against Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh for his alleged breach of the law and constitution in relation to using money from the Consolidated Fund in the way that he has done.

House Speaker, Raphael Trotman has already ruled that Singh should be sent to the Privileges Committee, a move that has seen government contemplating taking his decision to court because the issue is a legal and constitutional one rather than procedural.

Government has insisted that its spending of money and seeking the House’s approval for a Statement of Excess was not unprecedented and was in keeping with the Guyana Constitution and the Fiscal Management and Accountability Act.

The Constitution states that on the House's approval of a no-confidence motion, the President and Cabinet have to resign and make way for general and regional elections within three months.

President and Cabinet does not resign when a no-confidence motion is successfully passed in parliament.

President and Cabinet remains in power until the election takes place within three months and the political unit that gains the most seats forms the government.

A PPP victory is guaranteed.

Blacks will vote PNC as usual and peak at 40 percent. AFC at four percent.

PPP PPP PPP PPP

A vote for AFC = A vote for PNC

AFC = PNC

PNC = Riggers.

Once again, the issue under discussion is .. "Successful passing of a no-confidence motion in parliament and the election which must take place within ninety days."

The needed amendments to the constitution require, as a minimum, two-thirds of the elected MPs.

The no confidence motion is the AFC's last straw to remain relevant, after the snap elections (if held) the AFC would be history.
