Elections for the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) are now in limbo, as Justice Cecil McCarthy granted an injunction brought by suspended president Akanni McDowall.
Around 9:30 p.m., McCarthy granted the plaintiff’s request for a postponement of the elections pending the outcome of the hearing, which is slated to continue next Thursday.
In the interim, it is unclear if McDowall’s suspension remains in effect in the wake of this decision by the court.
The closed virtual hearing got underway at 10 a.m., and Nation News was reliably informed by sources present, that McDowall, who was represented by attorney-at-law, Senator Kevin Boyce, submitted a case for the quashing of his suspension and the postponement of today’s union election by two weeks, to contest a third term in office. The NUPW was represented by Larry Smith QC.

It appears that deliberations could go well into the night as arguments for and against an injunction brought by suspended president of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) were heard.
It is now up to Justice Cecil McCarthy to render his verdict.
Hanging in the balance is tomorrow’s elections for the NUPW as McDowall is seeking to have his suspension set aside and the elections postponed by two weeks in order to give him an opportunity to prepare to contest a third term in office.
