The Bar Association of Guyana, through its election observation team, has continued to monitor the process of the General and Regional Elections through tabulation of votes on statements of poll and then through the recount, of Sub-district 4 of District 4 and 77 boxes of District 5, sought by A Partnership for National Unity and conducted by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).
The Bar Association wishes to congratulate GECOM for the manner in which the tabulation and recount were carried out, the efficiency with which they were completed and for the transparency of the process. It recognizes that GECOM officials worked with patience and calm in trying circumstances, including heat and space, without adding any undue escalation.
The Bar Association is also satisfied that GECOM addressed challenges and difficulties professionally, and within the law.
The Bar Association of Guyana wishes to thank its volunteers for their selfless dedication to observing the process at every stage. It urges all political parties who contested the elections to accept the results of those elections for a peaceful and speedy return to normalcy.
