Mr Corbin should not be associated with the electoral process at the PNCR Congress

Dear Editor,
The PNCR commitment to transparency has to be made manifest in all spheres, especially as these relate to the upcoming biennial Congress. According to reports in your edition of August 8, Mr Corbin is the front runner for the position of leader of the party. One does not know if he has accepted the nomination since the process closes on August 10, but once he accepts, good judgement and best practice would require that he removes himself from all the processes related to elections at the congress. It is also important that all the other candidates who are vying for positions do likewise. Additionally, one would expect that General Secretary Oscar Clarke would ensure that all candidates would have equal access to the relevant information to ensure that the electoral processes are fair and just.

Yours faithfully,
Ronald Backer
