GUYANA | Amanza Walton Desir and Pt Ubraj Narine also withdraw from PNC/R leadership Campaign

GEORGETOWN,  Guyana, June 27, 2024 - Following the withdrawal of Roysdale Forde as a candidate for the leadership of the PNC/R  due to transparency concerns, fellow candidate Amanza Walton Desir has also suspended her campaign for leadership of the party.

I have been dedicated to upholding the values of transparency, fairness, decency and integrity within our beloved party.

However, recent developments which I am not at liberty to ignore, have raised serious concerns regarding the process.

In a statement Walton Desir said “ As of the morning of June 27th, 2024, one day before the commencement of our Congress, a preliminary list of delegates has not been made available to me as a candidate to allow for claims or objections and further, there is a lack of agreement among all candidates contesting on the procedures for conducting the elections.”

“These and several other issues necessitate careful consideration and resolution to ensure the continued integrity of our party and while I believe it is vital to address these concerns, I also recognize the importance of doing so in a manner that preserves our unity and strength.”

Also withdrawing his nomination was Pandit Ubraj Narine, who had been nominated for the positions of Vice Chairman, Treasurer and Central Committee member.

Narine said his decision to withdraw was rooted in his commitment to integrity, decency and transparency within the party.
