kp posted:President, Cabinet will not resign
-letter to Jagdeo says
President David Granger and his APNU+AFC Cabinet are following the directions of Attorney General Basil Williams and will not be resigning, Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon said yesterday.
There's more to this story. To unlock:
Perhaps Granger, Harmon and other PNCR have read only Section 1 of the Constitution and have not proceeded further to understand Section 106, parts (6) and (7).
Article 106, subsections (6) and (7) specifically states ---
(6) The Cabinet including the President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.
(7) Notwithstanding its defeat, the Government shall remain in office and shall hold an election within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall by resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the votes of all the elected members of the National Assembly determine, and shall resign after the President takes the oath of office following the election.”
