Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they have taken since the joint statement by the UK High Commissioner, the United States Ambassador, and the EU Ambassador, to Guyana, published on 19 September, calling on the President of Guyana “to set an elections date immediately in full compliance with Guyana’s constitution”; and what plans they have to support such an election to be held in an open and transparent manner.

​We note the President of The Cooperative Republic of Guyana's announcement of a firm election date of 2 March 2020.

The UK continues to work with the Guyanese authorities, our international partners, multilateral bodies and local stakeholders to ensure free and fair elections, through elections assistance and monitoring.
