Aubrey Norton yesterday said that he will seek guidance from the party’s executive as to whether to seek an audience with President Irfaan Ali and for the second day running, the new PNCR leader talked tough on pressuring the government and the elections commission on key issues.
“I would not want to comment on that at this moment. I have to meet with the Central Executive Committee (CEC) and when we make a decision that will guide me in the direction we need to go,” Norton, who secured a landslide victory in the contest for top party position, last night told Stabroek News. This newspaper had asked if he will recognise President Ali and seek an audience with him.
Norton had been vocal during last year’s election recount on the number of discrepancies in the process and had accused the PPP/C of bloating the voters list in a bid to fix the elections results in its favour.
