Shurwayne Holder, Chairman of the Peoples National Congress Reform (PNC/R) – the largest party in the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) coalition – has resigned.
His resignation comes just one day after former executive member of the party Mervyn Williams announced his exit from the political organisation.
The party has not yet issued a statement on the recent resignations.
According to information reaching this publication, Holder did not indicate a reason for his resignation in his official communication to APNU leader Aubrey Norton.
Both Holder and Williams served as Members of Parliament (MPs) for the APNU in the last Parliament but are not returning this time around.
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.
