Opposition PNCR Member of Parliament (MP) Jermaine Figueira, late Saturday, tendered his resignation from the Central Executive and Membership of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and Representative of the party in the National Assembly of Guyana, with immediate effect.

Below is the full text of his letter of resignation:
To: The Leader and the Central Committee Members

Dear Mr Aubrey
Norton,
With respect to the above caption, I, the undersigned, hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect.

While no mention was made of a reason or reasons for his resignation, Figueira had earlier Saturday made note of what he called “a quiet but powerful shift” in Guyana’s political landscape, where he alluded to the recent group of women in the PNCR who “broke ranks with the People’s National Congress (PNC) to chart their own course and establish new political parties.”
