OAS Assistant Secretary- General Albert Ramdin

“Reports from OAS observers throughout the day indicated that the General and Regional Elections took place in a calm, professional and orderly manner,” said OAS Chief of Mission Assistant Secretary General Ambassador Albert Ramdin.

The OAS Observer Mission has extended congratulations to the people of Guyana for the peaceful conduct of the polls; the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) for its work in preparing and conducting the elections; polling station officials, party agents and domestic observers for their commitment and professionalism; law enforcement and the disciplined forces for maintaining a peaceful and orderly environment; and the media for keeping the electorate informed about the process.

The OAS Observer Mission has called on GECOM to transmit the results of the elections as soon as verified to further promote confidence in the process, and the electorate and contesting parties to exercise patience while awaiting the results of the elections. The Mission further underscores the importance of maintaining a constructive and peaceful environment in the coming days.
