While he will retain his position as leader of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Aubrey Norton will not be returning to Parliament to represent his party.
APNU executive Christopher Jones – who previously served as the opposition chief whip – confirmed this with INews Guyana. This publication understands that Norton will be replaced by businessman Terrence Campbell as the party’s lead Member of Parliament (MP).
He said the party’s full list of parliamentarians will be revealed tomorrow.
The results of the September 1, 2025 polls show that APNU only secured 12 seats in the National Assembly – a significant decline, which has resulted in the party no longer holding the title as the main parliamentary opposition.
In the last parliament, the APNU and AFC had held 31 seats in the National Assembly, forming the main parliamentary opposition. Of these, the AFC itself occupied 9 of those seats, while the remaining 22 were held by APNU politicians.
The main parliamentary opposition will now be the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party which picked up 16 seats. WIN’s founder and leader, US-sanctioned businessman Azruddin Mohamed, has indicated that he will take up the constitutional position of Opposition Leader.
Meanwhile, former APNU parliamentarian Amanza Walton-Desir’s breakaway party called Forward Guyana Movement (FGM) won one seat and she will be occupying that bench in the National Assembly.
The remaining 36 seats will be occupied by the Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) which won the 2025 elections by a landslide; the party secured 242,498 votes.
Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to clarify that Christopher Jones did not address Terrence Campbell’s appointment as a parliamentarian during the interview.
