Father says ex-PNCR chair Shurwayne Holder job-hunting after exclusion from parliamentary seat
Former People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) Chairman Shurwayne Holder is now “out of a job” and actively job-hunting after being left off the PNCR-led A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) Coalition’s 12-member parliamentary line-up, his father Prince Holder said in a social-media post.
In the post, the elder Holder chastised online critics who took a jab at his son for resigning from the position of Chairman of the PNCR. His son, who has been axed from the Coalition’s parliamentary seat, had played an active role for the party in Region Two.
“Let me bring to your attention, Shurwayne is out of a job at present and have his mortgage to pay which means that he has to find himself a job, so if he is not going to parliament, he has to go out there and work,” the elder Holder stated even as he described his son as an “engineer by profession.”
The father added that the younger Holder has a wife and three daughters and one son to take care of, even as he called for the bashing of his son to come to an end.
Holder resigned as PNCR Chairman earlier this week via email to party leader Aubrey Norton, offering no public reason. His resignation came mere hours after veteran executive Mervyn Williams quit live on the party’s “Nation Watch” programme.
Neither Williams nor Holder is returning to the National Assembly. The PNCR-led APNU has since confirmed its trimmed 12-seat team headed by businessman Terrence Campbell.
