The opposition Alliance for Change (AFC) broke ranks with its fellow opposition party A Partnership for Nation Unity (APNU) by voting along with the ruling People's Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) to return to the house two bills pertaining to the Amaila Falls Hydro Project which were earlier voted down by the opposition and the party came under attack for its stance.
APNU member of parliament James Bond took to his Facebook page where he insinuated to his audience that the act was a betrayal. In one post Bond wrote "Motion to restore defeated Bills on the floor of the National Assembly. To restore these Bills the Standing Orders have to be suspended first.....a vote to so suspend these Standing Orders is now being taken......the AFC is of course voting with their PPPC "counterparts" ".
This is the first time the AFC has broken ranks with the APNU by voting along with the government side on any issue in parliament in a very long while. Both parties have voted against every single developmental project despite being supplied with all the necessary documentation and clarifications.
