High Court Judge Madam Justice Cicely Chase dismissed an application to call off General Election – stating, that the court has no jurisdiction over the matter as it should’ve been filed in an elections court.
Barbados’ first post-republic elections will take place on Wednesday as planned.
Philip Catlyn of the Barbados Sovereignty Party had filed the application on the grounds that the exclusion of COVID-19 positive individuals from the election breaches Section 6 of the Representation of the People Act, which enshrines the right of eligible residents and citizens to vote.
