…signals new political direction

Former People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) activist Robert Wayne Maison has met with People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) General Secretary (GS) and Vice President (VP) Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, signalling a possible new political direction.

Maison confirmed the meeting in a social media post on Friday, saying discussions centred on working with the governing party and contributing to the continued development of Georgetown and Guyana. “Today, I, Wayne Maison, met with Vice President and General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo,” Maison said in the social media post. “During the engagement, we spoke about working with the Party and Government and contributing meaningfully to the continued development of Georgetown and our country.” The meeting follows Maison’s decision to leave the PNCR in September 2025 after decades of involvement in the party. His political association with the PNCR extended back to the era of former party leader, Desmond Hoyte. Maison remains an elected People’s Representative Councillor for Constituency Seven (Stabroek-Bourda) at the Georgetown Mayor and City Council (M&CC). At the time of his departure from the PNCR, Maison was also involved in the party’s mobilisation and outreach activities and had served as a liaison officer to Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton.
