The Alliance For Change (AFC) recently held meaningful discussions with representatives of the Carter Centre, who presented the party with a copy of their final report on Guyana’s 2025 General and Regional Elections. The meeting focused on the state of electoral administration in Guyana, the urgent need for reform, and the importance of strengthening democratic institutions ahead of future elections.

The Carter Centre team was represented by Country Director for Guyana, Jason Calder, and Brett Lacy. The AFC delegation included Acting Leader David Patterson, Vice Chairman Michael Carrington, and Executive members Cathy Hughes, Nicola Trotman, and Diana Rajcumar.

During the meeting, the Carter Centre presented a summary of its report and indicated that it highlights both where Guyana stands and where the country should be in strengthening its electoral systems. Much of the AFC’s contribution centered on the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) and the urgent need to implement long-discussed reforms.
