Aug 24, 2009 News

Despite all the talk of unity at the opening of the 16th Biennial Congress of the Peoples National Congress Reform, the division within the party was on full display during the plenary session on Friday when members were allowed to speak their minds.
As the various persons took the floor to air their various viewpoints, it was evident by the responses of the gathering that there was a deep division within the party as it relates to the leadership as well as the various party policies.
The Chairperson of the proceedings had the Herculean task of maintaining order.
Throughout the entire day, the obvious differences that existed within the party was on display as members were observed arguing with each other to the point that one person even exposed his penis to a woman in the height of an argument.
The tension escalated to the point where some people were afraid to voice an opinion out of fear of a violent retaliation.
An interesting point to note was the numerous youths that were brought to the congress as delegates to vote for the leadership of the party.
At the end of the day, apart from Robert Corbin being re-elected leader of the party, former Government Minister, Bishwaishwar Ramsaroop, popularly known as ‘Cammie’ was elected Chairman.
Dr. George Norton and Basil Williams were elected as vice chairpersons of the party.
