The Guyana government on Friday hinted at appealing a High Court ruling squashing the two term presidential limit.
“Something like this which goes to the heart of our constitutional framework has to be tested by the highest Court which is the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), said Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman.
The High Court on Thursday squashed the two term presidential limit paving the way for a person who has already served for two terms as head of state to seek election to become president unless the ruling is appealed or a referendum takes place.
The ruling by acting Chief Justice, Ian Chang, followed the December 2014 filing of a writ by private resident, Cedric Richardson, challenging the two term limit and the manner in which the Guyana Constitution was amended.
