Stealing elections will result in isolation – US Senator warns
The pressure continues to mount on the coalition Government and President David Granger to keep Guyana’s democracy alive as another United States Senator joined the calls for the Government to adhere to democratic principles.
In a statement via his social media account, United States Senator, Rick Scott addressed the situation in Guyana. Scott noted that the will of Guyanese, expressed in the votes they cast, is paramount.

“Guyanese authorities must respect the will of their citizens and the courts. Stealing elections will result in nothing but isolation. Guyana’s future is bright but only if it remains democratic,” Scott said, also reposting a joint statement from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and the European Union.
In that joint statement, the locally accredited western diplomats had complained of having to leave the Region Four tabulation process on Friday last, as it was clear that a transparent and credible process was not put in place by the responsible officials.
