The High Court has dismissed an application as to whether or not the Guyana Elections Commission would be allowed to use the recounted, valid and certified results to declare the official outcome of the disputed March 2^nd Regional and General Elections.

In a ruling lasting just over an hour yesterday, Chief Justice Roxanne George said she was bound to follow the earlier decisions of the Court of Appeal and ultimately the Caribbean Court of Justice on matters raised over the elections in which both the ruling coalition, A Partnership for National Unity and the main opposition People’s Progressive Party are claiming victory.

Justice George said the application is accordingly dismissed.

She said the recount of the ballots cannot be considered invalid and the Chief Elections Officer is not a law onto himself.

She said there must be finality to judicial decisions.

Private citizen, Misenga Jones sought a number of reliefs including asking the High Court to compel GECOM to use the 10 district declarations in announcing the winner of the elections.

The applications have already indicated they intend to file an appeal.
