FORMER Alliance for Change (AFC) Member of the Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) Regional Democratic Council (RDC), Mr. Francis Darchiville has resigned from that party. Formerly a strong and faithful supporter, he tendered his letter of resignation last January 20, addressed to AFC Chairman, Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan and Party Leader, Mr. Raphael Trotman.


Darchiville, who is well known and was in the National Executive of the AFC, as well, said he has severed all political links with the party.


He said his resignation was because he was not invited to a very important meeting in January, when councillors were selected to represent the party in Administrative Regions where it won seats at the RDC level.


Darchiville said he decided to quit also in disagreement with most of the decisions made at the party’s political spectrum.


According to him, the appointment of councillors to RDCs should be based on loyalty, respect, credibility and merit; not selected through close connection to the leadership of the AFC.


He also said that members who have given of their time, loyalty and means for six years should not be sidelined for newcomers.


Darchiville, who also served as Chairman of the AFC Re-Election Committee for 2011, sincerely thanked the leadership and National Executive of the party for their patience, tolerance, understanding and friendship during the past five-plus years of his affiliation with the grouping.


His resignation from the AFC will certainly weaken the hold of the party in Region Two and push supporters away from the base, as Darchiville was a key figure and backed the party financially, as well, never expecting any remuneration.

Berbicians who drank the AFC snake oil is now looking for someone to remove the poison. AFC dictators are now acting like big brother PNC. Beware of the AFC and their snake oil dictatorship.

 

Kick them out of Berbice or you will regret for generations to come. Moses is the biggest traitor in the AFC.

 

Gerhard is also being used by the AFC. He is a decent man but drank too much AFC snake oil.

AFC executive quits party

National Executive member and former Regional Councillor, Francis Darchiville, has tendered his resignation from the leadership of the Alliance For Change. His resignation became effective on January 20, last.


Darchiville’s decision to sever all political ties with the party, he stated, has to do principally with some of the most critical decisions made within the leadership of the party. Darchiville said that he was, β€œfor some reason” not made aware of any.

The very vocal Darchiville added that while his primary decision has nothing to do with any personal grievance with the leadership of the party, his decision, however, has to do with the recent appointment of Regional Councillors.


Darchiville said the appointment of councillors should have been based on intellect, creditability, loyalty, hard work and respect in the community in which that councillor would have functioned, and not because the councilor is connected, or because the leadership wants to project a racial balance. β€œI personally do not feel that people who have given of their time, loyalty and means for the past six years, should be sidelined just to accommodate people who are newcomers.”


Darchiville added that another of his decisions has to do with his ill health. Mr. Darchiville, a remigrant, served as a National Executive Member and also in the capacity as a Regional councillor for the past five years.
