Grenada has formalised an agreement with the Organisation\u00a0\u00a0of American States (OAS) to observe general elections on June 23. This will be the eighth\u00a0\u00a0electoral observer mission mounted by the OAS to Grenada.<\/p>\n
Grenada\u2019s Permanent Representative to the OAS, H.E Yolande Smith, signed the\u00a0\u00a0agreement last Friday with Secretary General of the hemispheric institution, Luis Almagro.<\/p>\n
At the signing, Ambassador Smith reiterated the sentiments expressed by Prime Minister\u00a0\u00a0Dr. Keith Mitchell who had previously underscored Government\u2019s support for the\u00a0\u00a0transparency of the electoral process and the inherent value of having the overseas\u00a0\u00a0missions observe the process, particularly organisations like the OAS, which continues\u00a0\u00a0to advocate for democracy and the strengthening of our institutions within the\u00a0\u00a0hemisphere.<\/p>\n
An OAS press release quotes the Secretary General as saying \u201cThe agreement we are\u00a0\u00a0signing today is an indispensable tool for the Mission to fulfill its functions. I congratulate\u00a0\u00a0you, Ambassador Smith and your government, for your democratic conviction and for the\u00a0\u00a0openness shown in inviting an Electoral Observation Mission for the upcoming general\u00a0\u00a0elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
The OAS observer mission will be led by Dr. Rosina Wiltshire, a former United Nations\u00a0\u00a0Resident Coordinator, and United Nations Development Programme Resident\u00a0\u00a0Representative for Barbados and the OECS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
