Volda Lawrence needed in Parliament to provide leadership on finance matters, PNCR source says

With the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) yet to meet and decide on a candidate to fill the parliamentary seat to become vacant when Joseph Harmon departs on March 15, some of its members are already advocating for the return of Volda Lawrence saying her leadership is desperately needed in the House.

Lawrence is the immediate past Chairman of the PNCR and served as Minister of Public Health when the APNU+AFC Coalition was in government. In a surprise move by former President David Granger, who is the representative of the list for the main opposition, Lawrence was not selected to return to the National Assembly when the coalition lost power at the March 2020 polls.
