UWP Leader calls out High Court Judge in a matter involving 2019 General Elections

Opposition leader Lennox Linton has called for High Court Judge Bernie Stephenson to recuse herself from a matter involving the United Workers Party.

In a stinging rebuke, Linton questioned whether Justice Stephenson could be fair in the matter of an election petition brought to the court challenging the results of the December 2019 general elections.

The Dominica Labour Party won the December 6 polls handsomely 18-3.

The matter is due to come up for hearing on June 10.

But Government Attorney Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan has come out swinging at Lennox Linton, for what he calls an evil and dishonest attack on Bernie Stephenson.
