The United Nations Resident Coordinator here Mikiko Tanaka has urged political leaders and their supporters to refrain from acts that could incite hostility and violence as the country awaits an elections-related ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) next Wednesday.
“As the ruling of the Caribbean Court of Justice is awaited, we call on all political leaders and their supporters to remain patient and refrain from acts and remarks that could incite hostility or violence. I would like to reiterate the United Nations’ commitment to continue to support the people of Guyana,” Tanaka said in a brief statement issued yesterday.
Last month, Tanaka said recently a credible end to the elections here is urgent for an elected government and parliament to cater for the needs of the people. “Thanks to the essential service providers in #Guyana, under more pressure as #COVID19 cases surge. A credible end to the elections is urgent for the elected government and parliament to fully attend to their wellbeing and resource needs to serve the people,” she wrote in a Tweet.
