Karen Nunez-Tesheira’s application to stop the PNM Internal elections will be heard before Justice Devindra Rampersad at a virtual sitting of the High Court this morning.

Nunez-Tesheira, one of three people challenging the incumbent Dr Keith Rowley for leadership of the party, is arguing that the party’s executive made the decision to host a three-day voting process in contradiction to rules outlined in the PNM’s constitution.

Nunez-Tesheira is seeking one of two outcomes: that the party’s internal elections scheduled for this weekend and December 4 be held on one day in the customary way, or the granting of an interim order to postpone the election date pending the determination of the Claim.

The hearing begins at 10 o’clock.
