The Carter Center last evening said that it has been unable to secure permission from the Government of Guyana for an observer to travel into the country on Monday to observe the recount of votes for the March 2 national elections.
In a Tweet, the Center wrote, “The Carter Center is trying to get an observer on a Monday flight to Georgetown to observe the recount but has so far been unsuccessful in getting approval from the government of Guyana”.
The Tweet did not indicate when the request was made to the government nor whether there had been any communication about provisions to comply with local measures implemented to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
