<p>The United Kingdom is deeply concerned by the events following the elections in
Guyana on 2 March 2020. The Foreign Secretary issued a statement on 10 March, calling
upon President Granger to preserve the principle of free, fair and credible elections.
A fair and free process is vital for the maintenance and reinforcement of peaceful
democracy in Guyana, and we call upon the president to ensure that proper procedures
are followed before embarking upon a transition of government. Failure to do so will
have implications for leading figures in Guyana and for the country as a whole.</p><p>We
remain in close contact with the Guyanese authorities about the situation, and stand
ready to offer assistance to ensure a credible election result is produced.</p>
