Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley hands over the chairmanship of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) to St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves at a special meeting tomorrow via video conference.
In March, following an impasse in the elections process, Ms Mottley led a team of Caricom heads on a two-day visit to Guyana.
Following this, the APNU+AFC, via Mr Harmon, called on Ms Mottley as Caricom chair to not allow Dr Gonsalves’s statement to stand and to make her position clear on the issue.
Ms Mottley later did so, stating inter alia, “… we must ask – on what grounds and by what form of executive fiat does the Chief Elections Officer determine that he should invalidate 1 vote, far less over 115 000 votes when the votes were already certified as valid by officers of the Guyana Elections Commission in the presence of the political parties…
“The community holds the strong view that no voter must be disenfranchised in determining the credibility of this or any election.
And while Mr Granger has said that he will not criticise Ms Mottley or any Caricom head, he has also not condemned the attacks on her.
