President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo met together with a visiting delegation of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) heads of government on Wednesday night and committed to upholding the law to resolve the current elections impasse, CARICOM Chairperson and Prime Minister of Barbados Mia Mottley reported yesterday.
“…We met with the President and Mr. Jagdeo together in order to be able to chart a way forward. We, the leaders of the CARICOM community, are committed to working with the people of Guyana for a free and fair process and we made it clear because there is simply too much at stake for the people of Guyana,” Mottley told the press in a brief statement at the Marriott Hotel’s third floor executive lounge, shortly before leaving for the airport.
Flanked by prime ministers Ralph Gonsalves, of St Vincent and the Grena-dines, Dr Keith Mitchell, of Grenada, Roosevelt Skerrit of Dominica, and Dr Keith Rowley, of Trinidad and Tobago, who accompanied her for the two-day visit, Mottley said that both Granger and Jagdeo told the group that they desire a transparent process and also undertook to meet with their Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) representatives about a resolution.
