ABC envoys call on parties to respect results
US Charge d’Affaires, Bryan Hunt, (background) and British High Commissioner, Greg Quinn outside Freedom House yesterday afternoon.
Following a visit to the People’s Progressive Party/Civic’s (PPP/C) Freedom House, Robb Street, headquarters, the American, British and Canadian (ABC) diplomats in Guyana called for political parties to respect the results of Monday’s General and Regional election polls.
Speaking to members of the media outside Freedom House, yesterday, Charge d’Affaires of the US Embassy, Bryan Hunt, accompanied by British High Commissioner, Gregory Quinn and Canadian High Commissioner, Dr. Nicole Giles, reiterated the ABC diplomats’ wishes for political stakeholders to respect the provisions under Guyana’s election laws.
“The talking point we have been using with all the political parties is that we hope that they respect the results and respect the judicial process that exists for contesting them if they have issues with the campaign,” said Charge d’Affaires Hunt.
According to the envoys, the visit to Freedom House was a routine call to receive the party’s perception on how things were going with the electoral process.
Hunt clarified that the envoys had visited all the parties to gather their impressions on the elections as they finalise their recommendations.
“It is very important to get ideas in real time as to what all the political parties believe could have been potential issues or concerns during the polls. So we’re giving everyone the opportunity to comment to us as to what their perspective is,” said Hunt.
British High Commissioner, Quinn, affirmed the envoys’ purpose for visiting the PPP/C, as they have done so with other political parties.
Commissioner Giles emphasised the importance for the parties to continue communicating with each other.
“I think it’s really important at this point that all the parties keep talking and keep communicating and that the provisions under elections law are followed,” said Dr Giles.
She further related that stakeholders continue to work together, so that Guyanese get “legally certified” results as quickly as possible.
