R5CIC will participate actively as an independent observer during upcoming elections

Dear Editor,
The Region No. 5 Chamber of Industry and Commerce (R5CIC) notes with great interest the announcement by His Excellency President Dr Irfaan Ali that Guyana’s General and Regional Elections will take place on September 1, 2025. This upcoming Electoral event represents a significant milestone in the strengthening and consolidation of our democratic processes.
In keeping with our ongoing commitment to promoting accountability, fairness, and integrity, the R5CIC is pleased to confirm our intention to participate actively as an independent observer during these elections. We firmly believe that active oversight and engagement from civil society, particularly the Private Sector, are essential components in guaranteeing a credible and transparent electoral environment.
To ensure comprehensive and effective observation, the Chamber will collaborate closely with relevant National and International organisations and observer groups. We will comply fully with the established accreditation requirements and guidelines to maintain the highest standards of impartiality and professionalism throughout the observation process.
The Region No. 5 Chamber of Industry and Commerce strongly encourages our members, associates, and stakeholders to actively support and engage with this important democratic exercise. Our collective participation is fundamental to reinforcing democracy, maintaining national stability, and fostering sustainable development in Guyana.

Sincerely,
Region No 5 Chamber
of Industry and
Commerce
