Ralph Gonsalves was virtually condemned by Chairman of A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change

Joseph Harmon for saying that President David Granger must accept the results of the national vote recount

and that he “should take his licks like a man.”

Granger subsequently endorsed Harmon’s position as one that reflects the coalition’s and the Guyana government’s.

For her part, Mia Mottley on Monday again expressed concern that there appeared to be efforts at stalling

Guyana’s long-outstanding general and regional elections.

“We trust and pray that we are in a position as a family to work together but we cannot ignore principles

when it is inconvenient to stand by them,” she told the opening of the CARICOM Summit,”

Mia restrained herself from delving into details about Guyana’s political landscape

only saying that the regional organisation awaits next Wednesday’s decision by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ)

on an appeal of a Guyana Court of Appeal decision on what constitutes “valid votes”

by the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).

Mottley added that “it is regrettable that there is still no clarity as to the conclusion of that electoral process.”
