International Community Denounced for Guyana Election Meddling

Guyana’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Karen Cummings has told the Organisation of American States (OAS) that her country’s laws and court decisions would “alone” be used to determine the outcome of the general and regional elections.

In apparent reference to calls by the OAS for President David Granger to concede defeat and peacefully hand over power to the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), the Foreign Minister said the “independent” Guyana Elections Commission is expected to declare results based on Guyana’s constitution, Court rulings and the advice of the Chief Elections Officer “which must be consistent with the laws of Guyana.”

“Chair the laws of Guyana and the electoral remedies alone will determine the results of the General and Regional Elections of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana,” she said in the letter in which she accepted the invitation to participate in Tuesday’s meeting of the OAS Permanent Council.

The Foreign Minister slammed as “premature” the decision by the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union, and other members of the international community to intervene, to impact the outcome of the elections, while the Supreme Court is still to rule, and the Election Commission still to make a declaration of the results.
