OAS SG says right of appeal should not be abused

Luis Almagro

In the wake of a unanimous Guyana Court of Appeal (CoA) decision throwing out the latest challenge to the recount result by an APNU+AFC supporter, Organisation of American States (OAS) Secretary General, Luis Almagro yesterday said the right of appeal should not be abused.

In a tweet, Almagro said “The right of appeal is a privilege that should not be abused – especially in deferring the will of the people. #Guyana has spoken. GECOM must declare results based on the recount.”
