UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab today issued London’s strongest warning yet about the severe consequences for any government illegally sworn in here as a result of the disputed March 2nd General Elections and those involved.

Raab said in a statement today:

“The transition of government in Guyana should only take place in line with transparent and democratic principles that lead to credible results.

“Any government sworn in on the basis of non-credible results will face strong international condemnation. If the situation continues to deteriorate, this international response will include a range of serious consequences for those concerned.

“The UK remains ready, along with its partners, to assist in ensuring a credible process that provides the democratic outcome that the Guyanese people deserve”.
