Khemraj Ramjattan and Raphael Trotman

AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan is not dealing himself out of the equation of becoming the party’s new leader later this year with the incumbent Raphael Trotman’s recent indication that he will not be contesting the post.

Addressing reporters on Wednesday at the AFC’s weekly news conference Ramjattan noted that he is eligible to run for the position and would serve if so chosen by the party delegates.

“I don’t want to exclude myself; I think the party would require some persons of experience now that Raphael has gone to be the Speaker,” he said.

Trotman was this week reported in the press as saying that he will not contest for the leadership post at the party’s biennial conference in March.

He told reporters on Wednesday that the posts of party leader and Speaker are both time-consuming and the latter post demands that the holder be impartial.

“One has to look at tradition, one has to look at time constraints; but in any event our constitution does say that as far as possible we should vacate positions. I’ve been the leader of the party since 2007,” Trotman stated.

He too said that the delegates will decide his future in the party while adding that he would like to play “a very active role.”

Meanwhile, Ramjattan said that there is little likelihood of former PPP stalwart Moses Nagamootoo becoming an AFC executive this year since the party’s constitution requires that an individual be a member for at least one year in order to be considered.

“That depends on whether we’re gonna alter the constitution and all of that and I don’t think it will.”

Nagamootoo, who cast his lot with the AFC just before the November 28 elections after leaving the PPP, is

From all indications Ramjattan will be leader. But Moses will take over in a year's time.

Why do you think that Trotman isn't resigning as leader of the AFC yet? He wants to do it March, so that he will get all the time he wants to work underhandedly to undermine Ramjattan from becoming the AFC leader. See wat he did when he said that he didn' want a seat in the National Assembly and then talked about his illness. He used this time to work with APNU, unknown to the others, to get their endorsement for speaker. Later , a miracle happened, he got cured and decided to throw his name in the hat to be speaker.

Remember when the time came for Trotman to step aside for Ramjattan as AFC’s presidential candidate he bluntly refused. He would not serve “under” Ramjattan.

Trotman hates East Indian people. Remember that Ramjattan and Trotman did to Nagamootoo what they did to Gomattie.

He (Trotman) too said that the delegates will decide his future in the party while adding that he would like to play “a very active role.”

This is probably the best Government that Guyana has ever had, one where there will be checks and balances, so we hope.

Then act like a real political analyst and not write like a cow.

One of the reasons, Trotman formed the AFC with Ramjattan and Sheila, is to mend the great race divide. Note the AFC is the only party that address this chronic problem in their Action plan. I don't think you read it.
