 People's National Congress Reform (PNC/R) leader Aubrey Norton has instructed that there be no observers at that party’s Congress scheduled for June 28th to 30th.

This was made public by PNC/R North American Region (NAR) member Egland Gomes in a post on his Facebook page. Gomes said that Norton, whom he referred to as a dictator, ordered General Secretary Dawn Hastings-Williams to exclude observers from the congress.

The inclusion of observers at Congress has been a longstanding practice that sees party members who have not met the membership requirement being allowed to attend as observers.

“He has handpicked several interim management committees in the regions to control the party membership and delegates,” Gomes wrote.

He also chastised Norton over his unilateral appointment of the committee that will manage the election at Congress.

Norton handpicked Vincent Alexander, a close party colleague of his, to oversee the election that will see him go up against Roysdale Forde and Amanza Walton Desir for the party leader position
