GEORGETOWN, Guyana, May 11 2015 – Former United States President Jimmy Carter has cut short a visit to Guyana, citing a health issue.
The 90-year-old Carter was leading a team of Carter Center electoral observers to the country.
Over the weekend, he met with current Guyana President Donald Ramotar to talk about electoral preparation ahead of Monday’s national vote.
“I’m very happy to have them here, this is the team’s 100th election observation mission,” Ramotar said.
Carter had arrived at Guyana’s Cheddi Jagan International Airport on Friday.
The Carter Center has had a team in Guyana since April. It has observed four elections in the Caribbean country.
