MEMBER of Parliament (MP) with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Mr. Joseph Harmon, has been appointed General Secretary of the Party.
The appointment was made by APNU’s Leadership Council during a meeting last Saturday at the Party’s Head Office on Hadfield Street, Stabroek.
Asked to comment on his appointment, Harmon said the creation of his position is intended to advance a greater level of coordination in the partnership.
“The APNU is a partnership, and my appointment is signalling that we are going to pursue a greater level of coordination,” he said Tuesday.
He said that a number of groups and individuals have signalled their intention to join the partnership; and this was what informed the Party’s decision to move to a greater level of coordination.
“The greater coordination in the partnership, which has shared principles, continues our process of building our partnership,” Harmon said.
A lawyer by profession, Harmon spent 23 years in the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), and another 15 in private legal practice, before becoming involved in politics. He is also one of several new faces representing the Partnership in the 10th Parliament.
