The value of the AFC is that it can walk into PPP villages and PNC villages and score support. for.
The AFC can, but its not. Sending Nigel Hughes when Nagamootoo is the presidential candidate is like the PPP sending Sam Hinds.
Every Guyanese knows that the PM is a token and the President has absolute power, so it is the presidential candidate who will determine what votes a party attracts. Nagamootoo remains unwilling to present himself in front of black crowds, and is mistaken if he thinks that Hughes can woo these voters on his own. It will be like last time when the spoke highly of Hughes, but went to vote for Granger.
Nagamootoo wil have to fix in his head that he can speak to BOTH major voting blocs. Because both blocs will have to be convinced, should he become president, that he will represent their interests. If backs see him speaking only to Indians it doesnt inspire their confidence.
