Harmon, although playing a prominent role in government was not included in the Central Executive in the 2018 internal elections of the party, failing in his bid against Volda Lawrence for Chair of the party. Broomes, a miner, was initially hailed as a beacon for her work in the Trafficking-in-Persons cases but has courted controversy in recent times, including a recent arrest and charge for assault of two men.
According to the PNCR, in its statement, Harmon and Broomes were formally and “warmly”
welcomed to the Executive Committee.
“Mr Joseph Harmon,” the release stated, “who served as Election’s Agent for the APNU+AFC gave a detailed elections update and a summary of Coalition’s performance. The Central Executive Committee was also given a brief on pending legal matters by Mr. Basil Williams, SC.”
