Now unopposed for leadership of the PNCR after the dramatic withdrawal of his two challengers on Thurs-day, party leader, Aubrey Norton in his address yesterday to the 32nd Biennial Congress of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR),  emphasized poverty alleviation, economic empowerment, and social justice.

Education, healthcare, and social services stood at the forefront of his promises in addition to outlining the PNCR’s vision for governance.

His former challengers  MPs Amanza Walton-Desir and Roysdale Forde SC, were notably absent from the Opening Cere-mony of the 32nd Biennial Congress amid weeks of tumult in the party in the run up to yesterday’s congress.
