The Organization of American States (OAS) will deploy an Electoral Observation Mission to the general elections in The Bahamas on May 10, 2017, according to the agreement signed today between OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro and the Interim Representative of The Bahamas to the OAS, Chet Neymour.
The Mission will be headed by the Ombudsperson of the Organization, Sherry Tross, and will begin its deployment tomorrow.
During the ceremony, held at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, the representative from The Bahamas thanked the OAS General Secretariat for accepting the invitation and said that “with a view to adhering to the best international practices, the Government of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas believes that the presence of international observers will enhance the credibility of the election results. It is for this reason that The Bahamas welcomes the Organization of American States Electoral Observation Mission.”
For his part, OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro said, “The OAS is committed to accompanying The Bahamas in this important democratic exercise. We look forward to the successful conclusion of the process and to hearing the authentic voice and will of the people of your great democracy.”
This will be the second Mission that the OAS deploys in the Bahamas. The first Mission was sent to the May 2012 general elections.
