Aubrey Norton, Leader of the PNCR, regards recent resignations of Amna Ally and Vanessa Kissoon as non-consequential. He asserts that Ally’s long-standing inactivity and the party’s increasing recruitment of new members point to its resilience. Norton expresses confidence in upcoming electoral success while acknowledging some personnel changes within the party.
Aubrey Norton, the Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), has minimized the recent resignations of prominent party members Amna Ally and Vanessa Kissoon, asserting that their departures will have no significant impact on the party. He emphasized that Ally has not been active since December 2021, suggesting that her resignation was anticipated by many within the party.
In a statement addressing the media, Norton declared, “Most members of the party believed that she had resigned already, so, I don’t know what it is, you are talking about. So, as far as I am concerned, that is a non-issue.” Ally’s resignation was prompted by what she perceives as ongoing neglect of women within the party and she has called on Norton and his Executive to step down. Kissoon’s resignation followed shortly after, stating personal reasons for her decision.
Norton voiced confidence in the party’s resilience, pointing out that despite the resignations, new members continue to join. He highlighted the party’s ongoing grassroots efforts and the positive reception from supporters, stating, “Our supporters and members are working and they are satisfied that we can beat the People’s Progressive Party.”
Reflecting on political dynamics, he acknowledged that some individuals may choose to align with the government for personal gain, indicating this has historically not harmed the PNC. Norton remarked, “There will always be people in a political situation…those who believe that they are better served by joining the government.”
He maintained that the PNC remains strong, citing successful party activities and an increase in member turnout. Norton stated, “More and more people are joining the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and the APNU. More and more people are quietly supporting us.”
Having assumed leadership of the PNCR in 2021, Norton is seen as the party’s prospective candidate for the upcoming elections following his re-election last year. His previous role as General Secretary adds to his experience in guiding the party forward.
In summary, Aubrey Norton, the PNCR leader, has downplayed the recent resignations of Amna Ally and Vanessa Kissoon, asserting that they will not adversely affect the party’s dynamics or electoral prospects. With ongoing efforts to recruit new members and engagement from current supporters, Norton expresses confidence in the party’s strength as it prepares for upcoming elections. The PNCR appears poised to continue its activities and gain traction among voters despite the departures.
