The People's National Congress Reform (PNCR) is a social-democratic and democratic socialist political party in Guyana led by Aubrey Norton.[12] The party currently holds 31 of the 65 seats in the National Assembly. In Guyana's ethnically divided political landscape, the PNCR is a multi-ethnic organization.[13]

It is the main component of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) coalition with the Alliance for Change (AFC).
