The BGCP was formed in June 1946, with its leadership included Jung Bahadur Singh, J.A. Nicholson, Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow and Ashton Chase.[1] It contested 13 of the 14 seats in the 1947 elections, winning five of them and becoming the largest party in the Legislative Council.[1]
In 1949 Forbes Burnham became party leader, and the following year it merged with the Political Affairs Committee to form the People's Progressive Party.[2]

Wow....history have been created with the paragraph in Irfaan Ali speech today. I knew something rings a bell.
Also no mention of the fighter for workers rights and the people of Guyana ,Dr. C.B. Jagan.
Not a word about Dr. J who dedicated his life to the PPP, victorious in 1992, etc.
