EU commends govt’s electoral reform efforts

EU Election Follow-up Mission, headed by Javier Nart, hosted a press conference on Wednesday

The European Union’s (EU) team of experts has commended the government’s implementation of several recommendations in the final report by the European Observation Mission based on its observation of Guyana’s 2020 General and Regional Elections.

In 2020, the EU deployed an observation team to Guyana to witness the March 2, 2020 elections. The mission made 26 recommendations to stakeholders.

Eight of these recommendations were highlighted as priority, and so far, two of these have been fully implemented, through provisions contained in the Representation of the People (Amendment) Act 2022.

More than three years after the elections, the union deployed an election follow-up mission to assess the progress of the implementation of the recommendations outlined in the final report.
