AFC members support call for Ramjattan’s resignation
Several members of the Alliance For Change are calling for the resignation of its leader, Khemraj Ramjattan.
Information reaching this newscast indicates that members who have been observing Ramjattan since his appointment in August last have moved to the party’s general members and wider leadership to gain support on this proposition.
Leader of the Alliance For Change, Khemraj Ramjattan received much critism by both party members and those outside since he was elected.
But these critisms seemed to have escalated as members and supporters are now lobbying to have him completely removed as leader.
This newscast understands that the request for Ramjattan’s removal lies in the genesis of his unsuitable management style which has led to several internal conflicts.
One member noted their concern that he might be leading the party down a path of failure which can ultimately tarnish its reputation and those who form the party.
The member contends that Ramjattan have already allowed persons to confuse the AFC’s positions and policies with other opposition political parties.
Another senior member who opted to remain anonymous explained that those calling for Ramjattan’s resignation are in fact the fans of AFC Chairman Nigel Hughes and are already looking to have him become the next leader of the party.
It is also alleged that the PPP/C member-turned-AFC leader appears to have an obsession, the former President, Bharrat Jagdeo which is evident by his recent and consistent attacks on the former president’s personality.
The member related that the party supporters would prefer that the party work to eliminate corruption and laying the platform for an AFC government.
Many feel that the AFC, under Ramjattan’s leadership, will cause them another election, as he is appearing to be very “radical” in his management style.
Members have also sought to point out the leader selective approach to matters he addresses in relation to internal corruption, bribery and character assassination within the party.
Ironically Ramjattan was elected by those now calling for his removal when Raphael Trotman resigned earlier this year.
Churchill better luck with Comrade Mose and brother Huges. Maybe they may bring you back from the cold. I understand that cold may be hard on an old man's body. But you may become a big boy in Georgetown if the AFC win so you can quit that night watchman job in the Big Apple.
The government has withdrawn its High Court challenge of the no confidence motion against Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee saying it has been overtaken by recent events with the efforts to gag the minister now before the National Assembly's Committee of Privileges.
