While not naming Chief Election Officer Keith Lowenfield, the Organization of American States yesterday said that one of the principal obstacles to the declaration of a result from Guyana’s March 2 elections is “a person whose duty it is to defend Guyana’s democracy through ensuring respect for the results of elections.”
The OAS statement was a clear reference to Lowenfield and came amid his continued defiance of instructions from Guyana Elections Commission Chairperson Claudette Singh to present a final result based on the recount of votes.
The OAS said it had already stated on April 15 that such persons should have no part in the current or future electoral processes.
