Do you know what was the article in the 1980 Constitution,nominating the Chairman of the Elections Commission ?
Do some work and compare the two, by the way alyuh thought the PPP will be in government forever,alyuh leader who came thru the back door,tried a thing suh he will be president for life, oh well he was mowed down.
1. I fully understand English language unlike you.. don"t throw stone @someone glass house when you live in one, i may not be good in English, but I have good common sense.
now down to business what you flying your two sided mouth about.
Folks, one minute Django is about fairness to the people, now he is about PPP crafting a constitution that came back to bite them... make up your bloody mind.
The 1980 constitution was for a consultation or so with the opposition leader.. Burnham could have picked the phone all tell Cheddie, this is the election chairman period. Hoyte use the same constitution.
The PPP with consultation with PNC changes the constitution to have more inclusiveness of the opposition. The same PNC who riots in GT about the 1980 constitution after using same for decades.
The amendments - "there shall be a chairman , who shall be a full-time chairman appointed by the President from a list of six persons, not unacceptable to the President, submitted to the President by the Leader of the opposition after meaningful consultation with the non-governmental parties in the National Assembly"
the current chairman selected by Granger is a religious leader who was a pall bearer at Hoyte funeral and the fact that he Patterson the current chairman lied on his CV when he said he was the Chief Justice of Grenada.Paterson blames his pen -- ayo en shame Django.
the part of your response I highlite, why drag yourself down the gutter , you are better that this.
The bold in your post i does call culvert corner discussion.
161. Elections Commission
