The US State Department on Human Rights said Mohammed Irfaan Ali was installed as Guyana’s President. The report stated that PPP/C won by a margin of 15,000 votes against the APNU+AFC coalition, announced by the Guyana Election Commission (GECOM) after a recount tainted by numerous irregularities.
The report separately said Mohamed Irfaan Ali of the PPP/C was installed as president on August 2. The US State Department in its March 31, 2021 Human Rights Report commented on several breaches committed by the current People’s Progressive Party (PPP) in the legal sector and civil rights of citizens.
The report also offered an opinion on the Guyana March 2, 2020 General and regional Elections. The report referenced several rounds of litigation initiated by the coalition government and opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) delayed the elections until March 2, 2020.
The APNU+AFC coalition’s refusal to accept the election result that showed their loss created a five-month postelections impasse, which included a national recount, refusal to accept the results of the recount, and litigation in the Caribbean Court of Justice, the country’s court of final instance.
