NOW that the President has made it clear that General Elections will be held on May 11 this year, the AFC is still trying to hoodwink the public that they have not yet decided on who is going to be their Presidential and Prime Ministerial candidates. This is according to AFC’s General Secretary, Mr. David Patterson. However, everyone is aware that Mr Nagamootoo and Mr Hughes were already selected by the AFC leader and his infamous gang. There is no election within the AFC, only selection and rigging.

Unable to get Mr. Granger to remove himself from his impending selection as APNU’s presidential candidate, the AFC is now telling Berbicians that they will never coalesce with APNU. Is it the conclusion of a jilted lover? It will be fruitful to Ramjattan to recall the fable of the Fisherman and his Wife. Having saved the life of the fish and was granted wishes that removed the couple from poverty to riches, the wife wanted to acquire the ultimate power, resulting in them being reverted to their former poverty stricken conditions. Ramjattan and the AFC wanted the ultimate power- to fulfill the dreams of Nagamootoo to become the President of Guyana although the AFC managed through deceit and lies to muster a meagre 10.7% of the total number of votes at the 2011 Elections. This is so absurd and ridiculous. However, the AFC’s climax will be worse than that of the Fisherman and his Wife-the AFC will be worse off than before!
According to its Consultant Professor Samad, the AFC will score a resounding victory. If I could recall the AFC’s former Consultant, Mr Nazrudeen, the AFC would have scored a resounding victory in 2011. If I were paid $ 1.1 million Guyana dollars per month then I would have said the same thing, therefore, since the good Professor is a paid Consultant then his overly expressed optimism is expected. Money and new found popularity can project a person in a world of fantasy!
However, the grim reality is this. Those persons from the PNCR who joined the AFC are now convinced that the AFC at the very core will only be satisfied with an Indian President and this has once again demonstrated what I have said repeatedly, that the AFC is a racially divided party. Therefore, these persons will happily move back into the arms of the PNCR. Moses will once again fail in his bid to become the President of Guyana. Then on the other hand, those PPP supporters who joined the AFC are now convinced that the AFC is only interested in fulfilling their own selfish political agenda and not the social and economic development of this country. They are convinced that the AFC is the most corrupt political party this country has ever seen. They will move back to the PPP.
The above scenario will give the PPP/C the majority it needs to continue its developmental agenda and propel Guyana forward.
The AFC is likely to earn the lowest number of votes in its short existence and this will thrust the tiny band of fortune-seekers into oblivion- a worse ending than the Fisherman’s fable.
Let the games begin!
