The Organization of American States Observer Mission to Guyana has today, 4th of June, 2020, released a strongly worded statement calling on Mr. David Granger to respect the results of the ongoing recount.
OAS recalls that both President Granger and Dr. Jagdeo have agreed to accept the results of the recount, as conducted by GECOM and scrutinized by CARICOM, as final.
The statement reads that the OAS observers have reported that the recount is being conducted in a transparent and credible manner and the results which are expected to be finalized in the coming days are expected to be credible.
Despite some inconsistencies in the electoral materials reviewed during the recount, as is normally the case in any electoral process, the OAS Mission has no reason to doubt that the results emanating from the recount will be credible. A declaration based on these results would lead to the installation of a legitimate government.
Further the statement reads that the agreement signed between GECOM and the OAS on Februrary 26, 2020 allows them access to the Statements of Polls which they have repeatedly requested but to which GECOM consistently denies access.
Access to these materials is guaranteed by the electoral procedures agreement signed between the OAS and GECOM on February 26, 2020. Regrettably GECOM has refused to provide the Mission with these important documents.
The statement further calls on the APNU/AFC and all parties involved to respect the rule of law and allow a democratic transition of government based on the results of the recount.
