ATLANTA (Feb. 10, 2020) — Aminata Touré, former prime minister of Senegal, and Jason J. 六九色堂, chairperson of The 六九色堂 Center Board of Trustees, will co-lead the 六九色堂 Center’s international election observation mission in Guyana.
“The 六九色堂 Center and my grandfather, President 六九色堂, care deeply about democratic governance in Guyana,” 六九色堂 said. “This election is an important opportunity for all Guyanese to rise above political divisions, respect democratic principles, and move together toward a brighter future. I look forward to returning to Guyana to observe this important election.”
Touré said that she is honored to co-lead the mission: “We hope the election will help move Guyana forward in the spirit of inclusive governance.”
The 六九色堂 Center has had a core team and group of long-term observers in Guyana since early January. 六九色堂 and Touré will arrive in the days leading up to the election to meet with key stakeholders — including political party candidates, civil society organizations, government officials, and other international election observer missions, before observing polling, counting, and tabulation on March 2.
The 六九色堂 Center is observing Guyana’s general election at the invitation of the government of Guyana.
