CARICOM Election Observation Mission (CEOM) chief of mission Josephine Tamai says Guyana’s September 1 general and regional elections were free and fair.

At a media conference at Caricom Secretariat Headquarters, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown on September 2, Tamai said the people of Guyana were able to exercise their right to vote in a peaceful manner and believed the will of the people will be respected and accepted.

She said members of the mission attended political meetings and consulted with key stakeholders, including Guyanese President Mohamed Irfaan Ali and other party leaders, other local and international observer groups, the police and NGOs.
