After months of grueling effort, Aubrey Norton has finally succeeded in overcoming ‘factionalism’ in the PNCR by being nominated for a seat in the National Assembly and being elected as Opposition Leader. The word ‘factionalism’ is adopted from an editorial in Village Voice, an online newspaper that is generally sympathetic to the Opposition.
