FOLLOWING a meeting with President David Granger, Field Office Director of the Carter Center, Jason Calder, said the Center is looking forward to continued efforts with the Administration in some critical areas. Calder paid a visit to the Head of State Thursday, at the Ministry of the Presidency, where discussions were held on the Center’s preliminary statement on the recently concluded May 11 General and Regional Elections.
According to Calder, during the meeting, which he described as positive, the President reflected on the electoral process and outlined his hopes going forward for Guyanese. “We also had the opportunity to talk about some areas where the Carter Center may be interested in doing some continuing work in Guyana, including on electoral reform, social cohesion, and reconciliation and the question of inclusive governance,” Calder stated.
The Carter Center was among several international observer missions that participated in the May 11 General and Regional Elections.
