Ailing APNU member resigns from Parliament
Speaker of the National Assembly Raphael Trotman yesterday announced the resignation of the ailing A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament Richard Allen who collapsed last week during Budget debates.
Resigned: Richard Allen
Kaieteur News understands that Allen was discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital yesterday morning.
Word is that Parliament Office also received his letter of resignation yesterday morning, leaving a vacancy on the APNU benches.
The combined opposition, without a replacement will no longer have the majority in parliament. In fact there would be a gridlock since the opposition and government would have the same amount of representing Members in Parliament.
However, this publication understands that APNU is not about to let that happen since the party has reportedly already earmarked a replacement. Allen will be replaced by Renita Williams.
Williams hails from Moruca, Region One and was part of the APNU’s National Top-up List.
