Chair of CARICOM, PM Mia Amor Mottley
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM)
Observer Team for the recount of Guyana’s Regional and General Elections will
arrive in Guyana on Friday, 1 May 2020.
The three-member Team will be led by Ms. Cynthia Barrow-Giles, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Government at the University of the West Indies (UWI), and includes Mr. John Jarvis, Commissioner of the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission and Mr. Sylvester King, Deputy Supervisor of Elections of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Ms. Barrow-Giles was a member of
the High-Level Team that came to Guyana last March to participate in a
scheduled recount which had to be aborted. The other members of that Team are
unavailable for the present mission.
Both Mr. Jarvis and Mr. King participated in the CARICOM Electoral
Observer Mission for the Elections held on 2 March 2020.
The Community thanks the
Government of Canada for the generous support it has provided to CARICOM for
this initiative.
The Community calls on all
concerned to ensure a credible and transparent recount process, in order to
provide legitimacy to any government which would be sworn in as a result. This
process must be completed without further delay.
