High Court judge Justice Gerthel Thom has reserved her decision after hearing closing arguments in the two petitions challenging the result of the November 2025 general election.
The Unity Labour Party’s Carlos Williams and Luke Browne have brought the petitions, challenging the election of Prime Minister Godwin Friday and Dwight Fitzgerald Bramble as MPs for the Northern Grenadines and East Kingstown, respectively.
The petitioners are contending that Section 26(1)(a) of the Constitution disqualifies Friday and Bramble from sitting in Parliament because they voluntarily acquired Canadian citizenship through naturalisation.
Both sides and their lawyers spoke to the media outside the High Court in Kingstown on Thursday after the trial ended.
