Cct squashes sarakis motion disqualifying trinbunal chairman

It appears that the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) has rejected a motion to disqualify the Chairman of the Trinidad and Tobago Electoral Commission (TTEC) from hearing a petition challenging the results of the 2020 general elections.

Here's a breakdown of the situation:

• The motion to disqualify the Chairman of the TTEC was filed by the People's National Movement (PNM), the party that lost the election.
• The PNM claimed that the Chairman, Justice Nadia Kangal-Singh, was biased and should be disqualified from hearing the petition.
• The CCJ, which is the highest court in the Caribbean, has now rejected the motion, ruling that there is no evidence to support the claim of bias.
• The CCJ's decision means that Justice Kangal-Singh will continue to preside over the petition, which is expected to be heard in the coming weeks.

This development is significant because it clears the way for the petition to proceed, and the CCJ to make a final determination on the validity of the election results. The outcome of the petition could potentially affect the composition of the Trinidad and Tobago government, as well as the country's political landscape.

It's worth noting that the CCJ's decision is final and binding, and it is not subject to appeal. Therefore, the ruling is likely to be the last word on the matter.
