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.”
