OAS says looking forward to proclamation of election date

The Organisation of American States (OAS) yesterday said it was looking forward to a proclamation of March 2nd as the date for the now overdue general elections here and it urged an end to the political uncertainty that has gripped Guyana.

“The OAS General Secretariat looks forward to the issuance of the proclamation required by Guyana’s Constitution to firmly establish the date for the elections,” the hemispheric grouping said in a statement, while noting that the OAS General Secretariat has taken note of the announcement by President David Granger that the next general and regional elections in Guyana will be held on March 2nd, 2020.

It said the OAS General Secretariat underlines the importance to the people of Guyana of leaving behind the period of political uncertainty as soon as possible.
