Watch our report:
“…we must ask – on what grounds and by what form of executive fiat does the Chief Elections Officer determine that he should invalidate 1 vote, far less over 115 000 votes when the votes were already certified as valid by officers of the Guyana Elections Commission in the presence of the political parties”, she asked.
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is concerned at reports that the Chief Elections Officer has submitted a Report to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) which is contrary to the directions given by the Commission and which does not reflect the results of the recount process as certified by the very staff of the Guyana Elections Commission and witnessed by representatives of the political parties.
The CARICOM Observer Team was of the unshakeable belief that the people of Guyana expressed their will at the ballot box on March 2 and that the results of the recount certified as valid by the staff of GECOM led to an orderly conclusion on which the declaration of the results of the Election would be made.
Therefore, we must ask – on what grounds and by what form of executive fiat does the Chief Elections Officer determine that he should invalidate 1 vote, far less over 115 000 votes when the votes were already certified as valid by officers of the Guyana Elections Commission in the presence of the political parties.
I assure you that the Community remains committed to the people of Guyana and remains resolute that the report of its Observer Mission was very clear in its conclusions as to the will of the Guyanese people as reflected in the recount which they monitored.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The three other police officers on the scene when a Minneapolis officer pressed his knee on George Floyd’s neck are being charged with aiding and abetting a murder, and the case against the main officer is being upgraded to second-degree murder, a newspaper reported Wednesday.
The new charges were to be filed by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who planned an announcement later Wednesday.
Earlier Wednesday, in a visit to a makeshift shrine at the street corner where Floyd died, his family had again called for the arrests of Lane, Kueng and Thao, a demand echoed by their attorney.
Some of the rockiness of the days since Floyd’s death May 25 dissipated on Tuesday night, with demonstrations continuing around the country, but without major reports of violence.
New York police said about 280 people were arrested on protest-related charges Tuesday night, compared with 700 a day earlier.

In the late evening of May 1st, Douglas Lewis was killed after he was shot four times by Watertown resident Anthony Trifiletti after a minor traffic accident.
Trifiletti, who was licensed to carry a firearm, told authorities that he shot Lewis — who was unarmed — because he feared for his life.
Lewis pulled over and Trifiletti pulled over behind him and when Lewis got out of his car, presumably to ask why the 25-year old was following him, the shooter claimed he saw Lewis reaching under his shirt.
Valerie Lewis said a witness to the shooting told her that Trifiletti took a shooter’s stance, aimed, and fired his weapon, “like he was a professional.”
However, the killer has had contacts with police including a DWI and he was involved in a traffic accident that caused the death of another motorist about a year ago.The mother of the accident victim, Karen Malave, was in court showing support for the Lewis family.
