OAS STATEMENT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE REFERENDUM ON THE EXPANSION OF THE PANAMA CANAL
October 22, 2006
Statement by the Chief of the Electoral Observation Mission and Assistant Secretary General of the OAS, Albert R. Ramdin:
On behalf of the Organization of American States (OAS), I would like to congratulate the people of Panama for their peaceful and orderly participation in this process that is so important in the country’s history. I would also like to recognize the Electoral Tribunal and other authorities for their excellent work in preparing for and organizing the referendum.
The OAS deployed a team of 50 international observers. Throughout the day, they were present in seven of the country’s provinces and two indigenous regions. The observers followed the process from the opening to the closing of the polls and observed a normal, calm process throughout the country.
Delegates from the “No” group presented the OAS Mission with documents denouncing that members of the “Yes” group in the referendum “(distributed) propaganda in the vicinity of the polling centers.” The Mission will forward the complaint to the competent authorities and will make the appropriate observations in its final report.
The OAS Mission will present a verbal report on its observations at a meeting of the OAS Permanent Council next Wednesday, October 25.
The Mission congratulates the people of Panama for the elections celebrated today and for the exercise of their constitutional right to vote, in this democratic and peaceful process on an issue of great importance to the country. The Mission will continue to follow the final results of the process.
The OAS Mission expresses its gratitude to the citizens and authorities of Panama for their hospitality and the support provided for the fulfillment of its objectives.
