Almost one week after the former leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon resigned as a Member of Parliament, the Parliament Office is yet to inform the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) of the vacancy.
Harmon on February 28 had written to Speaker Manzoor Nadir signalling his intention to resign from the legislature and on Monday last he sent a follow-up letter where he expressly resigned as an MP.
The initial letter had stated “I hereby give notice of my intention to resign as a Member of Parliament of the 12th Parliament of Guyana with effect from 15th March. 2022. I have given this decision my deepest thoughts and am of the view that it is in the best interest of the APNU/AFC Coalition and the people of Guyana that I resign this seat.”
