OAS ELECTORAL OBSERVATION MISSION IN JAMAICA DELAYS INITIAL START DATE DUE TO HURRICANE DEAN
August 23, 2007
Following the official announcement by Jamaican government leaders to postpone the General Elections to September 3, the Organization of American States (OAS) today began deploying a team of international observers to monitor the electoral process in that country. Governor General Kenneth Hall and Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller explained that the decision to move the balloting date was made due to the severe impact of Hurricane Dean.
OAS Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin, who heads the electoral observation team, conveyed the solidarity of the Organization of American States to the government and people of Jamaica. “The entire inter-American community expresses sympathy during this moment of hardship, and we will continue to support the humanitarian efforts underway in the areas that have suffered heavy damages and loss,” he said.
Ramdin noted that the hemispheric organization had to revisit the preparations for the arrival of members of the OAS Electoral Observation Mission and announced that after continued consultations with the Director of Elections, Danville Walker, the first group of monitors will arrive tomorrow, August 24, followed by a second group on August 27, and the last on August 31.
The Assistant Secretary General will arrive in Kingston on August 30. Ramdin reiterated his confidence in the preparation efforts of the Electoral Office of Jamaica to guarantee an orderly conduct of these elections. Underscoring the critical impact to that country’s infrastructure, he expressed hope “that everything will be done by the electoral authorities to have the polling stations up and working in order for the people of Jamaica to be able to exercise their fundamental duty.”
Ramdin added that he hopes “the men and women of the Caribbean nation will overcome this difficult situation and demonstrate, as they have in the past, their strong commitment to go to the polls and elect their leaders in a peaceful and calm environment.”
