Granger lost a vote of no confidence by a margin of 33–32 on 21 December 2018.[1] The government had held a one-seat majority since the 2015 elections, but one of its own MPs, Charrandas Persaud of the Alliance for Change, voted with the opposition.[1]On 19 January 2019, the opposition People's Progressive Party (PPP/C) chose former Housing minister Irfaan Ali as its presidential candidate.[2] BackgroundFollowing the no-confidence motion, Attorney General Basil Williams filed a court case arguing that the no-confidence motion was invalid as an absolute majority of the 65 members of Parliament would constitute 34 votes rather than the 33 which the motion received.[3] He also argued that Charrandas Persaud, whose vote decided the motion in the opposition's favour, was ineligible to be an MP as he holds dual Guyanese-Canadian citizenship, which is not permitted under the constitution. On 31 January 2019, Acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire ruled that although Persaud was ineligible to sit in Parliament, the motion was nonetheless validly passed according to Article 165 of the Constitution, and the government of President Granger should have resigned in its aftermath to allow for early elections.[4] The Attorney General rejected the Acting Chief Justice's ruling and stated that he will appeal against it at the Court of Appeal.[5] In February 2019, officials from the Guyana Elections Commission stated that there was not enough time left to organise an election by the constitutional deadline of mid-March. It was reported that the opposition may agree to postpone elections until a later date.[6][7] Electoral systemThe 65 elected members of the National Assembly were elected using closed list proportional representation from a single nationwide 40-seat constituency and 10 sub-national constituencies with a total of 25 seats. Seats are allocated using the Hare quota.[8] The leader of the single party or coalition which emerges with the largest number of seats in the election will become the President of Guyana.[9] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^1 Elections in Guyana within 90 days as Granger gov't loses vote of no confidence 33-32 Caribbean Chronicle, 22 December 2018 {{Guyanese elections}}2. ^[https://www.stabroeknews.com/2019/news/guyana/01/19/irfaan-ali-is-ppp-c-presidential-candidate/ Irfaan Ali is PPP/C presidential candidate] Stabroek News 3. ^Attorney General appeals Chief Justice ruling on no-confidence motion; private sector demands elections now Demerara Waves, 5 February 2019 4. ^[https://www.stabroeknews.com/2019/news/guyana/01/31/charrandass-persaud-vote-valid-chief-justice/ Charrandass Persaud vote valid – Chief Justice] Stabroek News, 31 January 2019 5. ^[https://www.thedailyherald.sx/regional/85058-guyana-govt-appeals-ruling-in-no-confidence-motion-case Guyana govt. appeals ruling in no-confidence motion case] The Daily Herald, 7 February 2019 6. ^[https://www.stlucianewsonline.com/guyana-chief-elections-officer-says-polls-cannot-be-held-on-march-19/ Guyana: Chief elections officer says polls cannot be held on March 19] St. Lucia News Online, 7 February 2019 7. ^[https://www.stlucianewsonline.com/guyana-opposition-leader-hints-at-possible-extension-of-deadline-for-general-elections/ Guyana: Opposition leader hints at possible extension of deadline for general elections] St. Lucia News Online, 7 February 2019 8. ^Electoral system IPU 9. ^Guyana : Constitution and politics The Commonwealth 4 : Elections in Guyana|2019 elections in the Caribbean|2019 elections in South America|2019 in Guyana |
