Sir Richard Edmonds Luyt DCM (8 November 1915 – 12 February 1994) was the colonial Governor of British Guiana in 1964-66. He installed Forbes Burnham of the People’s National Congress (PNC) as premier of a coalition government with a small business-oriented conservative party in 1964; however the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) came first in the election. Deadly riots ensued when the PPP was not allowed to form the government.
