The British Guiana Labour Party (BGCP) was a political party in British Guiana.

History

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]

I think some names are left out of that original British Guiana Labour Party. Ashton Chase, a diehard PPP supporter is still around. In his 90s, he still goes to his law office every day and is on the defense team of two big cases in Guyana right now.
