Divide deepens between APNU, AFC
…Granger blamed for PNC’s “vindictive” treatment of party stalwart
The divide between coalition partners A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) continues to grow, with AFC members and former Executive Imran Khan calling out APNU leader David Granger for excluding “certain influential” party members from Parliament.

In a statement on Tuesday, Khan, who supported the very party during its attempts to rig the 2020 National and Regional Elections, criticized the fact that Granger, as leader of the APNU list, chose to exclude the People’s National Congress (PNC) Chairperson Volda Lawrence. He called for the list system of choosing parliamentarians to be disbanded, though APNU/AFC while in Government never made any attempts to do this.
“The post-election treatment meted out to Ms. Volda Lawrence by her own People’s National Congress is unjust, unconscionable, and wrong. There is no sugarcoating it. Ms. Lawrence was shockingly and unceremoniously denied a seat in the National Assembly. This is an egregious wrong which must be corrected post-haste,” Khan said.
