PNCR Leader Aubrey Norton believes he is the best qualified person to lead the party and be the presidential candidate for the 2025 General Elections and therefore should be re-elected on that basis when the Congress is held this year.
It has been established that Norton will face a challenge from executive member and lead person on legal matters Roysdale Forde. But when asked whether she would dip her toes in the leadership race, popular member Amanza Walton-Desir said her current position was one of humility and therefore she would not answer at this time. She said she preferred to wait and know what the delegates wanted first because choosing a leader was a decision for them.
A date has not yet been given for the PNCR’s Congress, but Norton said that it will be held before the 31st of August, this year. It is expected that out of the Congress there will also be the selection of the presidential candidate for the 2025 General Elections. Party sources have said that a decision on if there will be primaries for that post will be made after the Congress once the delegates have chosen their leader and executives.
