expressed deep sadness at the passing of their former General Secretary, describing Ally as a dedicated and former long-standing member of the party, whose unwavering commitment to the ideals of PNCR and her country has left an indelible mark on the country’s history. Ms. Ally’s service to her country was multifaceted. She was a committed educator, a valued member of the Young Socialists Movement (YSM), and served in various capacities within the party. Her leadership and dedication extended beyond party activities as she served as a Member of Parliament and held the position of Minister in the Government under the APNU/AFC administration from 2015 to 2020 the PNCR said.

The party said that during her lifetime, Ally had exemplified service, integrity and patriotism, shaping the PNC and her country, leaving a legacy that will inspire many. The PNCR offers heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who knew her. ‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un’ We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return. May Allah grant her eternal rest and provide comfort to those she leaves behind during this difficult time,” the party said. Ally, a longstanding member of the PNCR, resigned from the party in March 2025, citing a lack of respect for women by a certain faction of the leadership. Comrades, with immediate effect, it is with great regret that I have to tender my resignation from the PNCR of which my membership and association have been for over fifty-four years,” Ally said, adding that the continuous disregard for women “who are the backbone of this great party has been overwhelming. Similarly, the Alliance For Change AFC expressed sympathy to Ally’s family, friends and colleagues while describing her as a “formidable presence in Guyanese politics and a dedicated servant of the people. “Her political journey, spanning several decades, was marked by loyalty, commitment, and a deep sense of duty to the nation.
