OAS lauds GECOM decision to use recount data

The Organization of  American States (OAS) has welcomed the decision yesterday of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to declare the results of the March 2, 2020 General and Regional Elections based on the data compiled by the national recount.

“As previously noted, the decision to conduct a national recount of all ballots cast on March 2 was supported by stakeholders in the electoral process as a means of determining a final credible result that was acceptable to all parties. The majority of these stakeholders, as well as local and international observers present for the recount, have confirmed that the process was impartial, transparent and reliable and delivered a result that reflects the will of Guyanese voters”, the OAS said.
