Forward Guyana Movement (FGM) Leader and the party’s lone Member of Parliament, Amanza Walton-Desir, says her departure from the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) was never driven by hostility toward her former party, insisting that her political focus remains on challenging the governing People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and reforming Guyana’s political system.

Speaking on Dr. David Hinds’ Politics 101 programme on Friday evening, Walton-Desir rejected suggestions that her exit from the PNCR ahead of the 2025 General and Regional Elections reflected a personal feud with the party.

“My fight is against the PPP. It is not against the PNC,” she said, adding that her concern has always been with what she described as Guyana’s entrenched winner-take-all political system rather than any individual opposition party.
