The High Court dismisses a lawsuit filed by the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) challenging the removal of the party from a building in Lethem that it had used as its regional headquarters for decades. In a decision delivered on August 24, 2026, the court rules entirely in favour of the State.
The case is brought against the Attorney General and the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) for Region Nine (Upper Takutu-Essequibo). The outlets report that the defendants argue for the lawfulness of the actions taken and the basis on which PNCR was removed from the premises. Kaieteur News adds that the court orders PNCR to pay $300,000 in costs. INews Guyana similarly reports the dismissal of the claim and the court’s agreement with the defendants’ position.
Overall, the reporting is consistent that the court rejects PNCR’s efforts to overturn or reverse the removal, with the main variation being the emphasis on the specific costs order.
