EVEN with the newly formed alliance between the PNCR and other parties, it seems that the PNCR is internally divided. There seems to be no unity among PNCR party members, as evidence by the ever lonely presence of David Granger.

The Joint Opposition Political Parties (JOPP) has been established, uniting different parties for a common cause, but it seems that rift in the PNCR, caused by Granger’s presidential candidacy, is irreparable.

Since David Granger became the PNCR’s presidential candidate, the other contenders for that title have all but disappeared. Basil Williams, Faith Harding, James Bond and Carl Grenidge have never been seen together with Granger in public and have never publicly endorsed him as the party’s presidential candidate. None of the prominent PNCR members has been seen with Granger, neither has anyone of them come to his defense publically on matters concerning his character, his history, the party’s policies and the election.

Whatever transpired behind the scenes to make David Granger the PNCR’s presidential candidate has clearly caused much bitterness within the party. The party’s prominent leaders must feel swindled, and as such, are isolating themselves from the Brigadier in retaliation.
