THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) will launch its election manifesto after the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) rules on the no-confidence motion, Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo, said on Thursday, during his weekly press conference.

After a two-day marathon session at the court on Henry Street, Port of Spain, President of the CCJ, Justice Adrian Saunders, announced the court will give its decision on a date which will be made known to the parties.
Also presiding over the appeals were Justices Jacob Wit, Winston Anderson, Maureen Rajnauth-Lee, and David Hayton.

The Opposition PPP, its leader Bharrat Jagdeo, former APNU-AFC coalition member, Charrandass Persaud, and political commentator, Christopher Ram, are seeking to have the CCJ – Guyana’s final appellate court – throw out the March ruling of Guyana’s Court of Appeal and restore the validity of the no-confidence motion against President David Granger’s coalition government.

The Appeal Court, in a majority ruling, held that there was a need for an absolute majority of 34 votes for the no-confidence motion to be passed, and not the 33 votes it received in December.

By a majority of two to one, the appellate court judges ruled that the no-confidence motion was not passed.
