PNCR Leader Aubrey Norton has called on the party to “slip into a campaign mode”.

This is according to a press release from the PNCR on its second General Council for this year which was held on Saturday and yesterday at its headquarters at Sophia.

The release said that in his address to the attendees, Norton called for the Party to “slip into a campaign mode and to spread its messages not only in its strongholds but across all communities in Guyana”.

He called on the Party’s entire leadership to “focus on the big picture and not to allow small disagreements to create unwarranted internal division”. He restated the Party’s call for a clean voters list and for an impartial and trustworthy Chairperson for GECOM. Local government elections are expected to be held by the end of this year and general elections are due in 2025.

The release said that the theme for the General Council was “Rebuilding our party, connecting with our grass roots base”. The release said that it reflected the need for the Party to further strengthen itself as a modern political organization and to redouble its efforts to advance the social and economic interests of Guyanese in their homes and communities.

On the second day of the General Council, the release said that the participants listened to and discussed reports from the Party’s regions and arms.

Saturday’s programme was chaired by the Party Chairman Shurwayne Holder.
