APNU+AFC Members of Parliament (MPs) yesterday asked for more time to deliberate on the appointment of a new Leader of the Opposition following Joseph Harmon’s resignation.
“The Chief Whip of the APNU+AFC has said that they will indicate to me at a later time their availability for me to convene a meeting for the election of a new Opposition Leader,” Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir informed at the beginning of yesterday’s sitting, where the 2022 National Budget was presented.
Harmon’s resignation came after growing calls for him to demit office and to make way for the recently-elected PNCR Leader Aubrey Norton.
