OAS Secretary General Spoke with the New President of Guyana after his Recent Election
May 20, 2015
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, congratulated the newly inaugurated President of Guyana, David Granger, who was officially declared by the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) as the winner of the 2015 general elections.
Moreover, in a letter sent recently, Secretary General Insulza extended his congratulations to the APNU + AFC Coalition for the victory at the general elections held on March 11. "Your victory is a confirmation of the confidence which the people of Guyana have in your leadership and that of the other Coalition members," reads the letter sent on Monday, May 18.
The letter recalls that the OAS was invited to observe the elections "so as to help in the further consolidation of democracy in Guyana." "From all indicators, the people of Guyana were able to exercise their civic responsibility freely and the elections were conducted in a calm and peaceful atmosphere," writes the Secretary General, who expressed his certainty that, under the new administration of the Secretary General-elect, Luis Almagro, the OAS will continue to offer its full support to advance the political and socio-economic development of the Caribbean country.
