“I will be part of a team that is concerned about the future of the party and Guyana…a team which recognizes that there is a need to promote harmony and build unity in the People’s National Congress Reform, and a team that recognizes that the enemy is not within, but the enemy is the present administration that have been involved in several violations of our constitution,” the opposition leader said.
Corbin also dispelled rumors that the party’s biennial congress, which is slated for August 21 and 22, has been postponed.
According to the opposition leader, these are, “wicked and vulgar rumors being circulated by persons known and unknown…all is well in preparation for our biennial congress. The congress is well ahead in planning for a successful congress. The programme and all the other activities are well advanced and they should disregard the mischief and wicked attempts to undermine the interest of the party at this particular time,” Corbin said.
He noted that he has been receiving numerous calls from party supporters who are stating that they received telephone calls inviting them to attend the congress.
However, according to Corbin, the congress is not open to the public, as it is only for delegates, observers and those who are in receipt of special invitations.
“In fact, several persons are in receipt of telephone calls inviting them to the party’s congress. Some are old members of the party, not in financial standing that have felt that the calls were coming from Congress Place inviting them to the congress. We wish to advise those comrades who are in receipt of these mischievous calls that only party delegates and observers who have been invited by the groups and those persons who have received special invitations are going to be allowed to enter Congress Place,” Corbin said.
Corbin explained that the reason the congress will not be opened to the public has to do with the fact that there is limited seating capacity.
