OAS EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE IN PROGRESS
OF JAMAICAN ELECTORAL PROCESS
August 16, 2007
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Albert R. Ramdin, concluded today a two-day visit to Kingston, Jamaica, expressing his full confidence in the progress of the ongoing preparations for the upcoming August 27 General Elections.
After signing an agreement between the OAS and the Electoral Office of Jamaica, Ramdin, who is heading the OAS monitoring team, praised the country’s electoral authorities for their “great efforts in preparation and organization in advance of these elections”, and thanked them for their support of the mission.
Ramdin noted that the agreement establishes the objectives and procedures for the observer’s activities and guarantees access so they can carry out their duties on Election Day. A separate agreement outlining the privileges and immunities granted to the observers was also signed with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Anthony Hylton.
In addition, Ramdin met with the different political actors in this process, and underscored their “complete confidence in the presence of international observers in Jamaica,” adding that “this will help strengthen the country’s democratic process.”
The OAS Electoral Observation Mission will begin its work in Jamaica on Monday, and Ambassador Ramdin will return to the country on August 24 to oversee the lead-up and post electoral activities.
He called on all citizens to contribute to “a peaceful and calm environment and to carry out their civic duty at the polls in an orderly fashion.”
