Caribbean & Central America - September 2019
Guyana’s ‘must-win’ election
Guyana is still to hold the general election which, following the no-confidence vote on 21 December, should have been held within three months. Legal challenges over the validity of the vote prevented that. Another deadline appeared to be 18 September, three months on from the final court challenge, but on 14 August Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire ruled that the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) had not set this as the new deadline. Most people are now expecting an election in November or December, which would only be a few months short of a full term for the coalition A Partnership of National Unity (Apnu) government led by President David Granger.
