While much debate is ongoing as to when and who will fill the two empty seats on the Opposition side of the National Assembly, Leader of the PNCR Aubrey Norton has assured that those seats will be occupied by the next sitting of the House.
The government has not yet announced a date for the next sitting of the National Assembly and the second Opposition seat becomes vacant on March 31, 2022, when former Minister of Education Dr Nicolette Henry’s resignation takes effect. The first vacancy was created on March 15, 2022, when former Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon resigned from the legislature.
Already, the PNCR has written to the leader of the APNU+AFC List of Representatives David Granger to inform him to extract Norton’s name to fill one of the Parliamentary seats. Much debate has been ongoing as to who will fill the next seat with PNCR Executives throwing around names like Volda Lawrence, Gary Best and Mervyn Williams.
