GECOM must expeditiously conclude electoral process using recount results – EU EOM

The European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) to Guyana, in a statement, said it welcomes the report submitted by the CARICOM high-level Observer Team on the recently concluded national recount of the March 02 General and Regional Elections.

The EU EOM said the CARICOM report reflects the findings of the EU EOM, which in its final report concluded that voting and counting were well managed all over the country, as was the tabulation of results in nine of Guyana’s ten regions. It added that the report also highlighted that the integrity of the entire electoral process was seriously compromised by the tabulation of results in Region 4 by senior GECOM officials.

The EU EOM trusts GECOM to expeditiously conclude the electoral process in accordance with the data resulting from the recount as per gazetted Order No. 60 of 2020 and its addendum.
