Dear Editor,
As the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) prepares for its biennial Delegates’ Congress in 2024, the anticipation and energy within the party are noticeable. As the strongest, largest, and most democratic political party in Guyana, the PNCR embodies the spirit of inclusivity and empowerment, where every member has the opportunity to shape the party’s future.
With the Congress looming before August 31, 2024, members are gearing up for a pivotal moment in the party’s trajectory. At the heart of this democratic process lies the freedom for any member to vie for elected offices, including Leader, Chairman, Vice-Chairs, Treasurer, or CEC member.
Currently, the stage is set with Comrade Aubrey Norton, M.P., signaling his intention to seek re-election as Leader, while Comrade Roysdale Forde, S.C., M.P., has expressed his intent to contest for the same position. Both individuals bring a wealth of dedication and experience, embodying the PNCR’s rich history of service and commitment.
As the Congress draws nearer, it’s expected that many other devoted members will step forward to declare their intentions to contest for various offices. This exercise of democratic rights is fundamental to the PNCR’s ethos and underscores the diversity of voices within the party.
Reflecting on past Congresses, characterized by robust debates and healthy competition, it’s imperative to emphasize the importance of maintaining integrity and playing by the rules. While spirited discourse is integral to democracy, it’s essential to champion policies and programs that resonate with the membership and offer a vision for a brighter future.
Unity must be our guiding principle as we rally our troops for victory in 2025. Despite any differences, a shared commitment to the PNCR’s ideals and objectives should unite us in our pursuit of national progress and prosperity.
Amidst the challenges facing Guyana, the PNCR stands as a beacon of hope, uniquely positioned to lead the nation towards a better tomorrow. With maturity, mutual respect, and a focus on the greater good, we can overcome any obstacle that lies ahead.
To all my comrades, I extend my best wishes as they seek office. Let us rally together, unwavering in our support for the PNCR, as we march towards a brighter future for Guyana.
Yours respectfully,
Ganesh Mahipaul – PNCR member.
