President David Granger will face no challengers for leadership of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) at its biennial congress next week, as former leader Robert Corbin yesterday reiterated that he has no intention of ever seeking elected office again.
PNCR General Secretary Oscar Clarke yesterday announced that the post of party leader would not be contested since the incumbent, Granger, was the only nominee for the post at the party’s 19th Biennial Congress.
Granger led the APNU+AFC coalition, of which the PNCR is the largest constituent, to a victory at the general and regional elections last year.
At a press conference held yesterday to give an update on plans for the Congress, which will run from August 27 to August 29, 2016, Clarke said Granger has notified that he has accepted his nomination. This means Granger will return to lead the party for the next two years.
