A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) has nominated former PNCR Chair and Public Health Minister, Volda Lawrence for the second of two vacancies that have arisen in its parliamentary lineup.
APNU had earlier decided on People’s National Congress Reform Leader, Aubrey Norton to fill the first vacancy.
The matter now rests with the Representative of the APNU+AFC list, former President David Granger. He is expected to advise the Guyana Elections Commission of the replacements for former Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon and former Minister of Education Nicolette Henry.
Lawrence, who had been battling cancer, did not contest for any of the positions at last December’s PNCR Congress saying that she needed rest. Recently a PNCR source said that Lawrence’s experience was desperately needed in Parliament to help make the governing PPP/C accountable.
