Several hardcore activists of the Working People’s Alliance, a Former Police Commissioner, a young attorney and a number of new faces will be in the parliament to represent A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) when the 10th Parliament is convened come January.
Gone are several stalwarts including former Parliamentarians Mervin Williams, Aubrey Norton and Anthony Vieira.
Reports also suggest that Norton was sideswiped as a Parliamentarian in the coming House because he has already served as a parliamentarian for 14 years.
Leader of the People’s National Congress Reform Robert Corbin is said to have had a significant hand in the selection process.
Some of the Candidates who did make the cut to serve in the 10th Parliament are Attorney-at-Law James Bond who was shot during a recent protest march when police opened fire, GYSM Chairman Chris Jones, Annette Ferguson, Ronald Bulkan, Sydney Allicock and Renis Morian.
Former Commissioner of Police Winston Felix and Former Guyana Defence Force Major Joseph Harmon will also be there alongside Brigadier (rtd) David Granger.
Granger was the party’s Presidential Candidate while Harmon operated as the party’s Campaign Manager and Felix was said to be integrally involved in the party’s Operations and Logistics Committee.
Working People’s Alliance (WPA) hardcore activists, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, who served as the coalition’s Prime Ministerial Candidate, Dr. David Hinds and Desmond Trotman are also heading to Parliament.
The other MPs will be Volda Lawrence, Dr. George Norton, Dawn Hastings, Keith Scott, Africo Selman, Jennifer Wade, Amna Ally, Vanessa Kissoon, Basil Williams, Clarissa Riehl, Deborah Backer, Joan Baveghems as well as former Finance Minister in the PNC Government, Carl Greenidge.
PNCR Chairman Bhishwaishwar ‘Cammie’ Ramsaroop is also set to make his return to parliament, him having served as Vice President in the Burnham administration.
Some of those former MPs who will not be there are Everette Lance Carberry, Desmond Fernandes, Dr John Austin, Dave Danny, Judith Blair, Ernest Barnabas Elliot and Cheryl Sampson.
Party leader Robert Corbin will also not be returning to the National Assembly as a Parliamentarian.
APNU is the only party to have not formally made an announcement on its MPs for the 10th Parliament.
The Alliance for Change (AFC) has already signalled its intention to add to its list of Parliamentarians Trevor Williams who heads that party’s youth arm, Dr Veersammy Ramaya, Cathy Hughes and Moses Nagamootoo with one other still to be identified.
Both leaders of the party will retain their seats in the House.
The Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) has already formally issued its complete list of MPs for the 10th Parliament.
