Dr. Mark France quits as ANUG Chairman

Dr. Mark France has resigned as Chairman of A New and United Guyana (ANUG), a position he held for less than a year of his second stint, following a reported internal disagreement over the party’s alliance with the newly established We Invest in Nationhood (WIN). The Executive Committee of ANUG announced the resignation, which is effective immediately, citing “personal reasons and a desire to focus on other commitments.” However, Dr. France later posted on social media that his decision was driven by a conflict between his “personal views” and a majority decision of the Executive Committee regarding the post-September 1st adherence to the ANUG-WIN joinder agreement. The alliance had contested the recent 2025 General and Regional Elections under the WIN banner, resulting in a surprising second-place finish and 16 seats in the National Assembly.
