The Commonwealth Observer Group has issued a sobering assessment of Guyana’s 2025 General and Regional Elections, warning that while polling day itself was largely peaceful, underlying issues threaten to erode confidence in the country’s democratic process.
The team flagged lopsided media coverage, the unchecked spread of misinformation, and systemic challenges with voter trust as major concerns. According to the Commonwealth, if these issues are not urgently addressed, they could seriously undermine Guyana’s electoral integrity in the years ahead.
The group called for immediate reforms to strengthen media fairness, improve electoral education, and safeguard against political interference to restore credibility to the democratic process.
