Delegates at a recently concluded Regional Congress of the People’s National Congress Reform in Bartica are calling on the executives of the Party to take a firm grip on developments taking place in the coalition government especially as it relates to the conduct of the Alliance For Change (AFC) faction within the coalition.

During the congress, which was held on Saturday, November 25, in Bartica, the delegates made reference to what it termed as the many “dodges” which the AFC has been engaged in over the last few months by way of public statements.


Central Executive Member of the PNCR and Minister of State, Joseph Harmon
In the presence of PNCR Executive, Joseph Harmon, who is also the country’s State Minister, the delegates urged the executives to take a firm approach in dealing with the AFC and to ensure that a very strong team is put together to review the Cummingsburg Accord which is up for discussion in the first quarter of 2018.

Just last week, the AFC called for a review of the Cummingsburg Accord and PNC/R Leader, David Granger reminded that there will only be a review of the accord at the scheduled time, that is after a three-year period has passed.

The delegates also expressed dissatisfaction that the AFC has been given more than what is catered for in the agreement. They are of the view that the AFC is now attempting to force the PNC/R to give more to the AFC. They made it clear that they are not prepared to have their leaders bullied.



GRANGER FOR 2020

Meanwhile, the delegates, mainly from the Good Life PNCR group, passed a resolution for Granger to return as the Presidential Candidate at the 2020 General and Regional Elections. They believe that the AFC may want to present their own Presidential Candidate after the Accord is reviewed.

The Cummingsburg Accord gives to the AFC four senior ministerial positions but at the moment the party, at the discretion of President Granger, now enjoys six senior ministerial portfolios.

Minister within the Ministry of Natural Resources, Simona Broomes who is also a member of the Good Life Group, was present at the event and encouraged party supporters to remain firm in their unity to keep the APNU in government and never cease in their support of the party’s leader, David Granger.


Leader of the PNCR and President of Guyana, David Granger
Meanwhile, Harmon who was invited to the region to deliver the feature address reminded that the party remains strong and can only get stronger if its members rally around their leader and continue to show their unconditional support for his policies and initiatives to develop Guyana.

Harmon told the comrades that all their concerns would be communicated to the wider executive of the party with a view of coming to an agreement on the many concerns and issues raised, including the Cummingsburg Accord.

it is expected of the PNC or even the PPP core supporters.

Those in the AFC who are threatened by the words should quit the government. Admit they made a mistake and rebuild. I am certain the contingement of Blacks will remain with the PNC. 

Maybe the Black members of the AFC will want to support the government. Being the majority in the AFC, that motion will be carried. 

Then, that leaves Nagamootoo and Ramjattan. As I said before, they shoud resign.

The AFC drew its membership from disaffected PNC and PPP members and supporters so it is expected in these troubling times for the AFC, that those former membership and support will be manifested and influence the decisions of the AFC members who are seeking a safe harbour. 

It seems that many in the PNC feel that they can "win" on their own so want to play hardball with the AFC. They know that they can push  the AFC to grovelling for some positions because the AFC big boys want the trappings of power at all cost and they do not have the political strength to do much.

They are in dream land and need to be realistic,maybe they are thinking of their dirty ways of rigging.

AFC about to get nuff lar. 

Yet Ramjattan acts like everything is honky dorey.

I saw this coming on Valentines Day 2015. Too bad Moses and Ramjattan were too blind to see the trap. The PNC has and by all indications will always be a group of bullies.

I am going to attempt to comment here and hope I don't get suspended for using the "N" word in PNC. The PNC has always been a party of bullies and thugs. I remember the 1962 "Black Friday" burning and looting and the Wismar murders and burning down Indians' houses.
