The Parties to the Proceedings [3] The Applicants in these proceedings, Mohamed Irfaan Ali and Bharrat Jagdeo, wish to have this Court set aside a decision of the Court of Appeal4 (“the Decision”). The Decision was made at the instance of Eslyn David who had applied to that court for certain Orders that shall shortly be spelt out. Messrs Ali and Jagdeo claim that although the Article of the Constitution, under which the Court of Appeal made the Decision (Article 177(4)), expresses that the Court of Appeal’s decision is to be final, this Court must nonetheless step in and set aside the Decision because the Court of Appeal had no jurisdiction to decide it at all and therefore it could not be final. [4] The Respondents to Ms David’s Application in the Court of Appeal were the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM), the Chairperson of that body, the Chief Election Officer (who, although served, did not appear before us) and the Attorney General. Both at the Court of Appeal and before this Court, representatives of various political parties were made parties or permitted to join the proceedings. The Factual Background [5] The circumstances giving rise to Ms David’s application are all matters of public record. They can therefore be briefly summarised. As previously stated, the Elections were held in Guyana on 2 March 2020. It is unnecessary to describe all the events, including the court proceedings, that took place after polling day. It is sufficient to state that GECOM ultimately decided to recount the votes cast in all ten administrative regions. To facilitate the recount process, GECOM issued an Order which was Gazetted and dated 4 May 2020 as Order, No. 60 of 20205. This Order was amended on 29 May 2020 by Order No. 69 of 20206.
