The Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of Guyana today signed the agreement for the deployment of the Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) that will accompany the General and Regional Elections scheduled for September 1, 2025.
The agreement was signed at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, by OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin and the Permanent Representative of Guyana to the OAS, Samuel Hinds.
Secretary General Ramdin highlighted the OAS's longstanding commitment to democratic governance in Guyana and across the hemisphere, stating: “This will be the seventh OAS observation in Guyana—an affirmation that democracy is alive and strengthened in the country.” He also underscored the constructive nature of the OAS’s electoral missions, saying “EOMs are not meant to criticize, but to deliver positive, achievable recommendations that help strengthen institutions and reinforce public trust.”
For his part, Ambassador Hinds reaffirmed Guyana’s commitment to transparent and credible elections and expressed appreciation for the support of the OAS and other international observer groups: “We do this conscious that democracy is necessary for development, security, and human rights.”
Since 1997, the OAS has observed six electoral processes in Guyana. Bruce Golding will once again serve as Chief of Mission, as he did in 2020.
