From March to August this year, we supported @fairdealguyana and other partners as Guyana teetered on the brink of autocracy for 5 months because a wannabe President-for-Life refused to concede the election long after it was clear he had lost the vote. bit.ly/3eKQInq In Guyana, as in the US, the outcome of the vote was clear to anyone with eyes.
