OAS responds to
Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham's invitation
shortly after he uttered his words of invitation; "For the first time in the history of The
Bahamas, the government of The Bahamas will say publicly as I now say
that any international organization that wishes to monitor the elections
in The Bahamas, send monitors to The Bahamas to see how the process
goes, etcetera, to be able to comment upon it, are free and welcome to
do so"...
The PM went on further to say; "They can let us know and we will facilitate them
and accommodate them — whether it be OAS, whether it is the United
States of America, whether it is the U.N., whoever monitors the
elections, the Jimmy Carter Group, whoever monitors the elections in the
world, if they want to come to The Bahamas to see how the election is
done they can come because we are going to have an open and a fair and
transparent process."
The Nassau Guardian reports that Pablo Gutierrez, director of the OAS’ Department of Electoral Cooperation and Observation said that; "We never reject any request because we think it’s very positive – the possibility to observe all of the countries in our hemisphere.” Read the full article HERE.
