Members of the Commonwealth Observer Group (COG) have been present at the Office of the Returning Officer, Region Four in Georgetown over the last 24 hours.
This morning and this afternoon, March 5, 2020, I personally visited the said office. It is the clear view of the group that the tabulation of the final election results has not yet been completed and verified according to the established procedures and relevant legal and statutory provisions.
We strongly urge the Guyana Elections Commission and all parties involved to ensure the process properly follows the legal steps dictated by the laws of Guyana and is in line with the country’s international commitments.
Regards
Rt Hon. Owen Arthur
Former Prime Minister of Barbados
Chair of the Commonwealth Observer Group
