Chairman of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Shurwayne Holder yesterday said that former Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon has not officially resigned as a Member of Parliament rather he only signalled his intention to do so.
“I have seen a copy of the letter from the National Assembly (that Harmon sent to the Speaker). I do not think it’s legally it’s a… resignation. There’s an intent for Mr Harmon to resign and so I wouldn’t take it that he has resigned,” Holder told a news conference yesterday.
On January 26, Harmon resigned as Opposition Leader but had indicated that he would remain a parliamentarian. However, on Thursday he sent a letter to Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir indicating his intention to resign effective March 14, 2022.
