The Alliance for Change (AFC) is calling on the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) to head to Parliament and support an extension of the Constitutional deadline stipulated by the No Confidence Motion.

The AFC is of the view that all Constitutional requirements have been adhered to by the Government and the President thus far.

“The next Constitutional requirement to ensure that the elections 2020 are held without being challenged is the requirement to get approval from a two-thirds majority of the National Assembly as is required by Article 106 (7).”

And for that, Ramjattan said, the AFC will urge the Opposition to ensure “full Constitutionality” of the upcoming elections, by granting its support in Parliament.

Perhaps the Jhaaattt just woke up and as usual blabbering nonsense here, there and everywhere.

He is absolutely unaware that since the CCJ had rendered its decision on the matter it is/was incumbent that the PNCR/AFC government MUST resign and the president remains in office to effect elections within three months.

Perhaps also the Jhaaatttt is unaware of the Article 106 (6) of the Guyana constitution.
