Ms. Bernita Primo will serve as his Deputy, while trade unionist Leslie Gonsalves will serve as the Regional Secretary. Another longtime trade unionist, Charles Sampson, will serve as the treasurer for the party in Region Ten.

Current Linden Mayor, Waneka Arrindell was elected as the Asst. Secretary/Treasurer, while other members of the Committee are Gordon Callendar, Fern McKoy and Hugh Stephens.

Figueira will now serve as the region’s representative on the Central Executive Committee of the People’s National Congress Reform.

He is well known in the community and is expected to lead the APNU+AFC’s efforts in the region to get more youths involved in the work of the party, while solidifying the party’s base.
