Former Ambassador of Guyana Riyad Insanally to Lead OAS Electoral Mission in Saint Lucia
November 21, 2025
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert R. Ramdin, has appointed former Ambassador of Guyana to the United States and the OAS, Riyad Insanally, to lead the Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) that the Organization will deploy for the General Elections in Saint Lucia, scheduled for December 1.
Dr. Insanally served as Guyana’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States and Permanent Representative to the OAS from September 2016 to June 2021. He was also Guyana’s non-resident Ambassador-Designate to Mexico. A career diplomat for over 31 years, he specialized in multilateral diplomacy, regional integration issues, Latin America-Caribbean relations and trade diplomacy. He received Guyana’s third-highest award, the Cacique’s Crown of Honor, in 2019, for his “long and distinguished service in the field of diplomacy and international relations.”
The OAS/EOM, composed of 14 specialists and observers, will analyze key aspects of the electoral process, including electoral organization and technology, electoral justice, the political participation of women, and political-electoral financing.
During its deployment, the OAS/EOM will meet with government representatives, electoral authorities, candidates, and members of civil society and academia, among others, to gather diverse perspectives on the ongoing electoral process.
This will be the fourth Electoral Mission deployed by the Organization in Saint Lucia.
