Carter Center urges resumption of Region 4 count as soon as possible

In the wake of news that the vote count in the Region Four Returning Office has been suspended, Co-leader of the Carter Center Observer Mission and former Senegal Prime Minister Aminata Toure, has urged that the count be resumed as soon as possible.

Region Four Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo is no longer at his station, having been rushed to the hospital earlier today after falling ill.

In the wake of concern over the suspended count, Toure addressed the matter at a Carter Centre press conference a short while ago.

“We hope that the counting will resume very quickly and everything will be completed to the end, so the process will remain very transparent all the way to the end, for the final results,” she said.

Mingo is said to be admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital and is currently being monitored.
