Bipartisan members of U.S. Congress express deep concern about elections in Guyana

The following statement has been issued by some members of the U.S. Congress. It was issued on the website of Representative Albio Sires from New Jersey:

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Reps. Albio Sires (D-NJ), Eliot Engel (D-NY), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), and Francis Rooney (R-FL) released the following statement regarding recent events in Guyana:

We are deeply concerned about allegations of fraud in Guyana’s elections. International election observers are in agreement that the results released for region 4 could not be verified and were presented yesterday in violation of the established vote tabulation process.

We call on the election commission (GECOM) to return to the established procedure and not to declare a winner until a credible vote tabulation process has been completed.”
