Aubrey Norton, the Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), has minimized the significance of recent resignations by key members Amna Ally and Vanessa Kissoon. Norton emphasized that Ally has not participated in the party for over three years and views her departure as inconsequential. He stated, “Most members of the party believed that she had resigned already,” highlighting the minimal impact of her resignation on the PNCR’s operations.
Amna Ally’s resignation letter expressed her frustration over the ongoing neglect of women within the party, demanding the resignation of Norton and his Executive team. Meanwhile, Vanessa Kissoon cited personal reasons for her exit. In addition to these resignations, former PNCR member James Bond publicly endorsed President Irfaan Ali for re-election, further complicating the PNCR’s political landscape.
Despite these departures, Norton affirmed the PNCR’s commitment to grassroots engagement with both existing and prospective supporters as they prepare for the upcoming elections. He noted, “Our supporters and members are working and they are satisfied that we can beat the People’s Progressive Party. Why do I have to be worried?” demonstrating his confidence in the party’s resilience.
Norton remarked on the historical trend of member departures not undermining the party’s strength. He referred to past scenarios with Odinga Lumumba and Joe Hamilton, asserting that these events did not lead to the party’s downfall. Instead, he suggested that such departures might free the party from burdensome allegations.
He anticipates more exits leading to elections but asserts that the PNCR remains robust, citing successful events and increased participation. Norton stated, “More and more people are joining the PNCR and the APNU. More and more people are quietly supporting us,” reflecting optimism about the party’s future.
Norton, who has led the PNCR since 2021 and secured his position in 2022, is poised to be the party’s presidential candidate in upcoming elections. His focus remains on bolstering the party’s influence and optimizing its outreach efforts.
