Embassy releases US$300,000 for elections monitoring
The United States Embassy has released more than US$300,000 for the election monitoring programmes of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Electoral Assistance Bureau (EAB).
The United States embassy has released more than US$300,000 for elections monitoring ahead of the May 11 polls.
According to the embassy yesterday, the resources will assist in efforts to ensure fair, free, and credible elections in Guyana on May 11th.
“Both the OAS and EAB have a proven track record of successful election monitoring missions and are widely respected. The U.S. Government is pleased to support the two organizations in bringing their credible and critical analysis to Guyana’s 2015 electoral process.”
The embassy said that the US continues to advocate globally for the expansion and strengthening of democratic governance.
“Regular free and fair elections are critical in this regard. The Guyana Elections Commission has established a strong track record of ensuring ýfree, fair, and credible ýelections for the people of Guyana, and we have full faith and confidence in its ability to do so once again in 2015. It is our hope that international and domestic observation will increase public and stakeholder confidence in the electoral process, culminating in all political parties’ acceptance of the ultimate results.”
The US said it remains committed to engagement with all stakeholders to help ensure a free, fair, credible, and peaceful electoral process.
