Former President and Leader of the People’s National Congress (PNC) David Granger recently paid a thank-you visit to the Mocha-Arcadia neighbourhood, his first following the declaration of the results of the March 2nd General and Regional Elections, a release from the PNC said yesterday.
Granger, who was accompanied by party General Secretary Amna Ally and Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon, thanked party officials in the village for their support in the recent elections and laid out plans for the Party’s long-term development. The release said that he explained the reasons for the delay in the declaration of the elections results by the Elections Commission.
Granger also took the opportunity to congratulate Nima Flue-Bess, a candidate on the ‘geographic’ list for the Demerara-Mahaica Region, on her election to the National Assembly, the first for a resident of that constituency and Natasha Singh-Lewis, who was elected to represent the Mahaica-Berbice Region. MPs Flue-Bess and Singh-Lewis are part of the new cohort of thirteen women who now constitute 42 percent of persons elected on the APNU+AFC slate for the 12th Parliament.
PNC officials Granger, Volda Lawrence, Ally, Simona Broomes, Ronald Bulkan, Winston Jordan, George Norton and Basil Williams are among the more than a dozen former ministers and MPs who had served previously and did not return to Parliament after the recent elections.
