No decision yet on rotation of WPA’s parliamentary seat – Dr. Hinds
(Kaieteur News) – The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) is yet to come to a decision on whether its parliamentary seat will be shared amongst its members.
Co-leader of the WPA, Dr. David Hinds
The party contested the 2025 general and regional elections under the umbrella of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) coalition. Subsequent to the elections, it was revealed that the party will occupy a seat.
On Friday, Kaieteur News contacted co-leader of the party Dr. David Hinds to determine whether consideration was given to seat rotation.
“We haven’t made a decision on that as yet, but we do not rule it out,” he told this publication.
On September 12, Kaieteur News reported that Dr. Hinds will be occupying the parliamentary seat, representing his party in the APNU coalition.
“During the campaign was the first time that we really played a full role in the campaign. So, if that is something to go by, we expect that in Parliament, we will have a more inclusive role, and so we have to wait and see coalition politics is very difficult, but given what we saw during the campaign, he expects that things are going to be much better, as we enter the National Assembly,” he said.
Dr. Hinds reminded that the last time they were in the coalition, they were in government, this time they are in opposition, “so the dynamics are different. The leadership is different, as well as the circumstances. So, one expects that the coalition would have learned from its previous mistakes, and that together, we can work together to restore some of the ground that was lost by the APNU during the campaign.”
He said WPA intends to use its seat to carry out the APNU’s agenda. “So, we are walking on two feet, and that’s what you do when you are in a coalition, you carry out the coalition’s agenda, and you carry out your party’s agenda,” Dr. Hinds added. He went on to say that he will be the voice of resistance and reason, as well as a voice for the poor and powerless.
APNU secured only 12 seats in the 13th Parliament.
