Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), former President David Granger sent shock-waves through his party and constituency when he advised yesterday that he had gone on an indefinite leave of absence from the party.
Stabroek News has been able to confirm that Granger wrote to the party leadership about proceeding on leave with effect from September 1. There has been no indication of when he will return. In his absence party chair Volda Lawrence will assume the position of leader.
The move to proceed on indefinite leave is unprecedented for a party leader and comes amid rumblings in the party over his leadership.
