United States Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Michael Kozak last evening added to the call that the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) declare the results of the March 2, 2020 general and regional elections based on the vote recount.
“The Caribbean Court (of Justice) has ruled. It’s time for GECOM to declare the winner of Guyana’s election based on the national vote recount. The will of Guyana’s voters cannot be ignored,” Kozak wrote on his Twitter page.
It is not the first time that Kozak has expressed Washington’s concerns about the elections process in Georgetown as he had in April summoned Guyana’s Ambassador to the US Riyad Insanally to relay concerns about the delayed result and apparent moves to illegally swear in a President.
Kozak and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have issued stark warnings about the repercussions for those who benefit from electoral fraud.
US Ambassador to Guyana Sarah-Ann Lynch has also issued a series of statements expressing concerns about the lack of credibility of the District Four count and the delay in the recount process.
