Report of the CARICOM Observer Team for the Recount of the Guyana March 02, 2020 Elections
Executive Summary
Introduction
The three-person CARICOM Observation Team, comprising Cynthia Barrow-Giles, Sylvester King and John Jarvis arrived in Guyana on May 01, 2020 to observe the recount of the votes cast on March 02, 2020. The arrival of the Team followed the invitation of the Retired Justice Claudette Singh, Chair of GECOM, to the Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) requesting the return of the CARICOM High-Level Team. The High-Level Team had been dispatched to Guyana in March 2020 to scrutinize and supervise the recount of the votes. As history would now show, the mission was aborted. In the interim, there was intense high-level negotiations which culminated in the selection of the three-person team.
