While any primary school child would tell you that 33 is greater than 32, educated minds appearing at the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) were complicating the simple: Dr. Alexis posited arguments to interpret the term “majority” in Article 106 of the Constitution of Guyana to mean “absolute majority” as opposed to “simple majority.”
Against that background, I not surprised by the latest opinion tendered by Dr. Alexis which was generously splashed across the front and third pages of the Guyana Chronicle dated 2020.06.28.
The report of the Chief Election Officer (CEO) to GECOM on that recount affords a proper formula for calculating the valid votes cast at the election, and so enabling the declaring of a President and members of the National Assembly.”
It is apparently clear to Dr. Alexis, but unclear to everyone else, that Lowenfield is the “fit and proper” person so empowered to conjure up a formula to ascertain the valid votes cast.
Further, Dr. Alexis and the many legal minds enlisted to argue against the voice of the people of Guyana are simply on the wrong side of history.
