Bishop Juan Edghill has resigned from the Ethnic Relations Commission.
This was expected as he had mounted the PPP/C platform during the recent elections campaign and has now been named a minister of government.
His letter dated December 9th was addressed to Yvonne Langevine, the Chief Executive Officer, Ethnic Relations Commission.
Edghill has become a divisive and controversial political figure and the main opposition PNCR had opposed his continuing as the Chairman of the ERC and had not cooperated with the body as a result.
