In a heartfelt announcement, former Member of Parliament Mervyn Williams declared his resignation from the People’s National Congress Reform (PNC/R) and its Central Executive Committee during a televised address. The decision, he stated, was made with a “heavy heart” and was influenced by “unfortunate occurrences” that he has observed in recent weeks.
Williams, who previously garnered the second-highest number of votes at the party’s biennial Congress, emphasized that his decision to step down was not impulsive. He revealed that he had been considering this move even before September 1, but postponed it out of a sense of “duty, commitment, and loyalty” to the party.
While Williams did not elaborate on the specific issues prompting his departure, he expressed deep gratitude to party members and supporters for their “love, warm affection, and tremendous support” throughout his tenure. He also thanked the executive committee, his colleagues, and the party leader for the opportunity to serve, particularly through the PNC’s initiative, Nation Watch.
Reiterating his commitment to social justice, Williams pledged to remain a strong advocate for Guyana’s Indigenous peoples. “I will continue to fight for justice, fairness, and equality until the day of my last breath,” he affirmed.
As Williams steps away from formal politics, his dedication to serving vulnerable communities in Guyana remains unwavering, leaving an impact that resonates beyond party lines.
