Declare recount results: European Union urges GECOM

Georgetown: The European Union’s Foreign Affairs Chief on Wednesday urged GECOM to quickly declare the credible results of the recount certified by the Caribbean Community and enforced by the ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice.

Below is the statement issued by the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Chief:

Following the elections in Guyana on 2 March 2020, the clear ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice now provides a solid foundation for a peaceful and democratic solution to Guyana’s post-electoral crisis.

It is now up to the Guyana Elections Commission to rapidly issue a declaration based on the credible results of the recount certified by the Caribbean Community, ensuring respect for the will of the people of Guyana, in line with the ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice.

We expect all Guyanese leaders and stakeholders to support such a declaration to conclude this long overdue democratic process. Only then can a legitimate Government be sworn in, which is urgent and essential for the country.
