With less than a week before the three-month period required to hold General and Regional Elections expires, British High Commissioner to Guyana Greg Quinn says political leaders should seek to find consensus.

“We’re now in a situation where both sides need to come together and decide what the solution is and how we get over the current issue,” the High Commissioner told the News Room in an interview at his Bel Air Gardens residence on Friday.

President David Granger and Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo met on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, but the two sides failed to come to an agreement for an extension to the March 21 deadline for the holding of elections in Guyana.

The President subsequently met with the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and has written to the Commission formally for them to present a work plan and advise him of the earliest date it can conduct elections.

The British High Commissioner noted that “if the Elections Commission is not ready and everybody agrees that it’s not ready, that’s a decision taken.”

He added that “there [is] a process to follow to extend what is that three months date which started on the 21st of December so it is now sort of contingent on those who are responsible to try and do that…to actually do that.”

The President on March 13 sent a letter to GECOM requesting an outline of the Commission’s plans and programmes along with financial needs.

At a press conference on Thursday, Jagdeo told the media that the President and Government will become illegal and unconstitutional after March 21 and even told his supporters to chase the Government Ministers who may visit their communities after then.

However, the British High Commission hopes that the situation will not reach this level.

“I am hoping there will be a resolution and that’s certainly what I think everybody wants to see before we get to that stage,” he said.

The Government condemned the  ‘chase them out’ comment, noting that it is “malicious.”

Article 106 of the Constitution states that while the government remains in place following the passage of a No Confidence motion, it cannot continue in office beyond the three-month deadline unless there is a Parliamentary vote of a two-third majority of the 65-seat House.

British diplomat calls on leaders to find solution to political impasse

Focus and salient issue.

"The British High Commissioner noted that “if the Elections Commission is not ready and everybody agrees that it’s not ready, that’s a decision taken.”

The trouble is that GECOM sat on their wicked lazy asses and run the time out. They have not matured to the elements of democracy.

Well when the hooligan Jagdeo screams "chase dem APNU out of we village" he doesn't look quite good.  Granger wrote to GECOM asking for a work plan to allow a date to be set. He is putting the onus on GECOM to determine their readiness. He looks way more statesmanlike than Jagdeo threatening violence.

You all should have gotten rid of Jagdeo, whose image among the ABC isn't that good.  Look how they stripped Jenny of her Canadian residency and told Irfaan not to travel there.  This is on top of several members of his administration being stripped of their US, Canadian and UK visas.

Bai, Jagdeo engineered that whole NCV that has all y'all getting shittings. Not surprising that y'all always begging for Jagdeo to disappear. The most pressing matter right now is the PNC preparing to squat illegally in government. Making it about Jagdeo's speech is a very poorly thought out deflection.

Jagdeo was already taken to court for supposedly inciting racial tension and all he did was walk into court, hug up de judge and left after she told him to go since Ram's lawsuit was sheer skont.

For more than two decades, the international community didn't have to press the PPP to hold general elections. Less than four years after the despotic PNC are given the keys to the government, the Canadian, UK and US and I believe even the EU had to remind Granger to obey the law. What the f uck is wrong with these PNC fools?

and the ABC nations are well aware of his machinations which is why they are telling him to stop making threatening noises that will only increase the tensions.

They did no such thing as to demand that elections be held.  They asked for a timeframe as to when GECOM plans to be ready and offered to finance GECOM if lack of funds was the issue.

The latest comments are directed to Jagdeo with his "chase dem out" screams.  Granger in the interim penned a letter to GECOM asking them to offer a time frame.  Granger is being much smarter in this than is Jagdeo.

If you think that the ABC nations care about the minute details in this you are stupid. What they care about is image and right now Jagdeo with his Irfaan selection and now his screams of violence is the one who doesn't look good.

Since than Irfaan was told not to travel to Canada.  Has any APNU or AFC official also been barred?

The NCV was over two months ago.  When did Granger write GECOM?

Did Granger threaten violence?  No. Jagdeo did.

Granger wrote a calm letter to GECOM asking them for a time frame as to when they will be ready to hold elections.

In this PR war its Jagdeo who looks like the thug.

And yet through all of this stacked up against the PPP, the PNC are the ones scared to hold elections. What does that say of the PNC that they are still afraid of losing even with all that shit stacked up against the PPP?
