Dr. Terrence Campbell should become the opposition presidential candidate
Dear Editor
Neither Mark Benschop or Rickford Burke have identified with any political party and it is completely in their right not to; I have mentioned their names because they are leading Guyanese activists and very influential social media personalities and it would be foolhardy to believe they do not have a say in which political party should lead Guyana. Hundreds of thousands of Guyanese worldwide listen to Benschop and Burke.
Melissa “Melly Mel” Atwell is an extremely influential activist and social media influencer. She has not identified with the PNCR and it is also in her right not to be a supporter of my party. I have tremendous respect for the three activists mentioned here. I have identified with the PNCR and have pledged to do all in my power to see it form the next government. It is no secret that I have stood with the PNCR for a mighty long time and have directed my activism to its benefit.
I have been asked by many about whether I would support Azruddin Mohamed if he declares his intention to contest for the presidency. I have been asked the question because he has been given positive publicity here recently. I have never met or spoken to Azruddin Mohamed though I have made several attempts through associates to get an interview with him.
I have a podcast and I have sent him a request to do an interview. That request still stands. In my struggle to see the PNCR form the next government, I have to be very realistic about our prospects. It is only us in the PNC that can dash our chances of winning the upcoming elections. I have said to the party I love that we should move quickly to see Dr. Terrence Campbell become the opposition presidential candidate. I am absolutely certain we will win with him there. I will not continue supporting the PNCR if we refuse to make Dr. Campbell that candidate. I have had the opportunity to interview Dr. Campbell once. I think that is the only time I have spoken to him. I have been hesitant to use my platform to push for Dr. Campbell to become the next president of Guyana because that could very well be a motivating factor for the Leader of the PNCR not to support that position.
I have earned the right to have a say when it comes to my party and how it will succeed. I have given it all my energies without benefiting anything from it. I will end my struggle for the PNCR if we do not do right by it and choose the correct candidate to see us win. I will never support the PPP even if they offer me a billion dollars. I can be open to the ALP or Team Mohameds.
Sincerely
Norman Browne
