The Progressive National Party held its 2012 National Congress this past weekend in Providenciales under the theme – “Moving Forward Together”. This historic gathering was hailed as a success by our Delegates and party members who attended the two day event. The program included the election of our new leader, Dr. Rufus Ewing and some officers of the new National Executive Committee (NEC). The NEC under the new leader will be responsible for the continued running the day to day affairs of the party and will be integral to the success of the party moving forward.
The Progressive National Party applauds leadership candidate Mr. Carlos Simons QC whose stellar campaign made our leadership election all the better for his candidacy.

Party Leader Dr. Rufus Ewing has indicated that he has shortlisted potential candidates for the post of Deputy Leader, an appointment which he hopes to make within the week. The Party wishes to thank all members and delegates whose presence made the 2012 National Congress a resounding success and wishes to encourage all PNP’s to remain dedicated to the ideals and goals of the Party under our theme: “ Moving Forward Together”.
May God bless the Progressive National Party and may God bless the Turks and Caicos Islands.
