Chaotic Opposition camp’s support for no-confidence motion wanes

what coalition talks?

Read the article.

The Chronicle is lying. The Chronicle says "It is understood that...bla bla bla."

No concrete evidence of that meeting.

KN is Guyana's Toilet Paper. Read KN for Tabloid headlines and lies. KN had to make the most retractions for misinformation in Guyana's publishing history.

Read KN if you love reading lies.

Disagree. KN has serious professional investigative journalists.

It just happens that the people KN exposes are your people.

Naturally, you will dislike KN.

I understand.

I don't like the Chronicle, but I won't call it toilet paper. I have a few longtime journalist-friends there. They're just doing what their paymaster order.

OK. Fair enough.

APNU wants the Presidential Candidate slot in exchange for its support of the no-confidence motion, while AFC was given the PM Candidate position.

Whether the story is true or not, I believe the above. I hinted this a couple weeks ago.

 It is true.

I keep telling you all that former Jaganites and Burnhamites cannot live in the same house for very long. 

Gotta let these idiots confer amongst themselves and make noise about that which they have conjured up in the pits of corruption at freedumb hose....

AFC is finished.

yeah yeah been listening to that soup since before 2011 and weh de PPP deh today? dem fighting for dem life now......gwan dat side wid your nonsense fookeeitutu

TK who is foookeeitutu.....Billy Ram or Yuji?

Or Both?

All too of dese kats all ah dem full of it. They have not brought anything new to this site in years. They are old and dried up like roopnarine old kyatt.

Excellent observation, what coalition talks, you mean the one between Grainja and Ramotrar?

Professor now talking...

Yuji & Billy Ram is two ole Poke Pun Pension...

Dem "Got De Itch"

Every corner yuh turn granger and Ramtor meeting, You never see AFC in any of these pictures. Granger gat more pictures wid Ramotar than wid e wife the past 3 years. The PPP and PNC are so intertwined it aint funny.

these two bais putting them chinese out of business

No serious and sensible person wants an APNU AFC coalition in any case.  I am glad that they broke down.  Maybe that will refocus the AFC on what is important and that is LGE.  There is no assurance that another election will produce any different results from the one in 2011, and what then?

What is needed is reform in the governance of Guyana and a STRENGTHENING of local governance, so that Guyanese begin to gain a greater sense that it is THEIR involvement which will produce results that they will prefer. This passive mentality of letting the gov't do everything is a disaster.  This is why Trinidad has a healthier political dynamic, even though they also face an ethnically divided political environment.

It is very easy as an Afro Guyanese to engage with Indo Trinidadians and note that they have a very different sense of self, more self confidence, and a more cosmopolitan outlook than do Indo Guyanese.  So there is less of this "circle the wagon" mentality which is so prevalent among BOTH Indo and Afro Guyanese.

A RACIST DAAG WILL AKWAYS BE A EACIST DAAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the frik is wrong with you banna, you gone off the end or what? You is one rassole you know.

What coalition talks?

The PPP playing their race card but no one is listening to them and their bullshot.

Bossman Granger put Rumjattan in his place.

Again YUJI?  Or are you dumb.

I ask what coalition talks?

It does not exist, only in your demented PPP mind.

YUJI so dumb, there is no talks between AFC and any body.

The talks are happening at OP between old man Grainja and fine man Ramutar.

National Alliance policy is “another ploy to delay the inevitable” – AFC (KNews)

…remains resolute on no-confidence motion

The Alliance For Change (AFC) is doubtful that there is any offer that the government could put on the table to restrain the party’s initiated no-confidence motion. The AFC is convinced that this new initiative of a national policy “is not genuine and is another ploy to delay the inevitable.”

The party has thus registered its non-intent to contemplate the “Government’s newfound inclusive policy.”

General Secretary of the AFC, David Patterson believes that the government is currently “pulling rabbits from the hat,” and is trying its best to stall general elections.

He told this newspaper that government is seeking to promote its national policy, but is yet to state the approach of this national umbrella. Moreover, he explained, the People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP) General Secretary, Clement Rohee has noted that there is need for an alliance, but declared that the opposition has to build trust; “and in building that trust, they want the opposition to do things, and agree on things -we find unreasonable -without question.”

He continued that it is currently unclear what the government is up to, but said his party will not accommodate them in carrying out its delay tactics. It was pointed out that the opposition has been more than reasonable with the government in their operations in Parliament.

Patterson said the opposition has related its concerns and dissatisfaction on many issues with the government, but is usually ignored. “Even before this no-confidence motion, we wrote to the government expressing our concerns over the illegal spending of money and they told us put up or shut up, saying basically to bring on the no-confidence motion.”

“They did not even hint that they would review our concerns or give it some thought… The government was also given a 10 point plan, which they had no intention of considering.” Patterson hinted that the government is not to be taken seriously on its recent initiative.

As it relates to A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), the AFC General Secretary said the party is moving ahead with its no-confidence motion and is optimistic that APNU will lend its support in removing the incumbent PPP-government. This is despite, Opposition Leader, David Granger saying that APNU is willing to sit with the PPP to discuss its national alliance policy.

Patterson said that Granger has always advocated for a one nation move, but as it stands, there has been no discussion between the two opposition parties on the PPP’s recent pronouncements. He said there has also been no discussion as to whether there might be matters to discuss or negotiate which could possibly lead to the withdrawal of the no-confidence motion.

He said the AFC expects APNU’s unconditional support of the no-confidence motion and “considers the PPP’s attempts as ‘willy-nilly,’ as they will try anything to stall the motion.”

There are two possible occurrences which political analysts say will most likely be forthcoming; the ruling party will either call early elections or face the history making moment and become the first government to be voted out of power. There is also the perception in some quarters that none of the major parties are ready for general elections. Continuous deadlock has gripped the two sides of the House and the opposition is convinced that only fresh polls can make the change. The opposition also is convinced that the PPP will seek to frustrate the no-confidence motion and employ various delay tactics.

Granger has noted however, that APNU believes that it is time to do away with this ‘winner-takes-all’ attitude. He said he supports the “national alliance” principle being promoted by the PPP, but expressed keen interest in knowing the full details since the opposition parties have not yet been engaged.
