Member of Parliament Dr. Andre Lewis of the We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) party resigns from Guyana’s National Assembly amid allegations of a sexual nature and an ongoing police investigation. Multiple outlets report that Lewis resigns following his arrest earlier in the week.
All three sources say Lewis tenders his resignation in a letter dated October 2, 2026, addressed to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Manzoor Nadir, and that he cites the allegations made against him and the investigation as the reason for stepping down. Guyana Chronicle adds that police have not issued public comment on the probe.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis. INews Guyana highlights that the alleged incident involves an individual who was a minor at the time. Kaieteur News and Guyana Chronicle focus more broadly on “sexual misconduct” or “sexual abuse” and the fact that the investigation is ongoing, without adding additional detail about the circumstances of the allegation beyond what is already described.
