See full statement from the Guyana Police Force (GPF)
The Guyana Police Force is aware of recent social media content and public statements being circulated by political actors and influencers alleging ballot box tampering during the ongoing recount process.
We wish to remind the public that the recount is being conducted under tight security and in full accordance with the laws of Guyana. The process has been peaceful, orderly, and transparent, with representatives from all political parties and accredited observers present.
The GPF strongly condemns the spread of misinformation and irresponsible commentary which seeks to inflame public sentiment or disrupt the integrity of the electoral process. This is especially reckless during a time when stability, lawfulness, and trust in our institutions are critical.
We urge all stakeholders to refrain from publishing or amplifying unverified claims, particularly on social media. Any attempt to incite panic, undermine public order, or provoke unrest will be met with swift and appropriate action under the laws of Guyana.
The Guyana Police Force remains fully committed to maintaining peace and security and will continue working closely with the Guyana Elections Commission and all relevant authorities throughout the completion of the electoral process.
