Current Chairperson of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Volda Lawrence has finally broken her silence in relation to contesting for the leadership of the party at its 21st Biennial Delegates Congress, saying that her name would not be appearing on any ballot paper owing to “personal reasons”.
Lawrence, on the sidelines of a press conference yesterday to provide an update on the congress, told reporters that her decision is one that was made in the interest of her health and the best interest of the party. She explained that for the five years that the APNU+AFC Coalition was in government where she served as Minister of Social Protection and subsequently Minister of Public Health, she has seriously neglected her health.
