Mr. Benjamin, a long-time party member since 1997, brings extensive experience and commitment to his new role. His tenure within the PNCR has seen him hold several key positions in the Guyana Youth and Students Movement (GYSM), including Group Chairman, Regional Vice Chairman for Region 6, National Executive Committee Member, and National Treasurer. Currently, he serves as the Regional Representative to the PNCR’s Central Executive Committee for Region 4.
