The occasion was what has been deemed as a “successful” General Council Meeting, the second held by the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) on Saturday 6th, and Sunday 7th of August. The General Council is the second-highest decision-making forum of the Party.
The forum was themed, “REBUILDING OUR PARTY, CONNECTING WITH OUR GRASS ROOTS BASE” and “reflected the need for the Party to further strengthen itself as a modern political organization and to redouble its efforts to protect and advance the social and economic interests of Guyanese in their homes and communities,” according to a statement issued by the party.
In his address to the gathering Leader of the PNCR Aubrey Norton “called for the Party to slip into a campaign mode and to spread its messages not only in its strongholds but across all communities in Guyana,” the statement read. Additionally, he urged the Party’s entire leadership to focus on the big picture and not to allow small disagreements to create unwarranted internal division.
Mr. Norton who is also Leader of the Opposition, “reiterated the Party’s call for a clean voters list and for an impartial and trustworthy Chairperson for GECOM,” according to the statement. The General Council concluded with a Charge by the Party Leader. Representatives from all ten regions attended on both days.
