Van West-Charles hoping for safeguards for transparent voting at PNCR Congress

Dr Richard Van West-Charles

With the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) 21st Biennial Delegates Congress just days away, contender for the office of Party Leader Dr Richard Van West-Charles is hoping for a transparent process as the Party, for the first time, conducts simultaneous elections across the country.

During a brief telephone interview with Stabroek News yesterday, Dr Van West-Charles said that he is of the belief that the Party is adequately prepared to host the polls. However, he did say that there may be some elements with the intention to run contrary to the PNCR’s constitution.

“The constitution of the PNCR has devised a transparent process and once everyone adheres to it there is not going to be a problem. In every election globally, in the first world and in the third world and in the developing world and the developed world, you always find one and two outliers of behaviour that runs counter to the established norms,” he said.
