Bruce Golding to Head OAS Election Observer Mission

Former Jamaican Prime Minister, Bruce Golding, is heading the Organization of American States’ Electoral Observation Mission for Guyana’s 2025 general and regional elections.

The OAS observer mission comprises 27 experts and observers from 18 countries.

The mission will monitor both the Disciplined Services vote on August 22 and the main poll on September 1.

According to its mandate, the team will conduct a structured and technically rigorous analysis of the electoral process.

It will focus on electoral organization and registries, electoral technology, political-electoral financing, electoral justice, and the participation of women.

The mission will visit polling stations across the country from opening to the counting of votes and processing of results.

This marks the seventh electoral observation mission that the OAS has deployed in Guyana.
