President Dr Irfaan Ali has reassured that Parliament will be reconvened in accordance with the Constitution of Guyana.
He made the remark during an interview posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday morning.
“Guyana, you can trust the PPP/C government to do everything within the Constitution,” President Ali said.
He referenced Article 69 (1) of the Constitution of Guyana, which governs the reconvening of Parliament after it has been dissolved.
“I still have a lot of time in the Constitution to reconvene Parliament,” the President explained.
Parliament was dissolved on July 3, 2025.
The Constitution of Guyana states that “Each session of Parliament shall be held at such place within Guyana and shall begin at such time (not being later than six months from the end of the preceding session if Parliament has been prorogued or four months from the end of that session if Parliament has been dissolved) as the President shall appoint by proclamation”.
Against this backdrop, the President pointed out that he has until November to reconvene Parliament.
“…what I can assure you and Guyana is that it will be reconvened within the constitutional limits and constitutional timeframe,” he said.
Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs has confirmed that he has received the names of all 65 Members of Parliament (MPs) to be appointed. The parties to be represented in the National Assembly are the ruling Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) with 36 seats, We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) with 16, the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) with 12, and Forward Guyana Movement (FGM) with 1.
When Parliament is reconvened, the selected members will take their oath of office after which, the Speaker of the National Assembly and Deputy Speaker will be elected.
Thereafter, the Opposition Leader would be elected.
