Guyana elections: Foreign Secretary's statement, 24 March 2020
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab responds to the situation in Guyana following the elections there earlier this month.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
The transition of government in Guyana should only take place in line with transparent and democratic principles that lead to credible results.
Any government sworn in on the basis of non-credible results will face strong international condemnation. If the situation continues to deteriorate, this international response will include a range of serious consequences for those concerned.
The UK remains ready, along with its partners, to assist in ensuring a credible process that provides the democratic outcome that the Guyanese people deserve.
