Moses left the PPP for the AFC with his character pretty much unblemished. At that point in time he was able to make his case of injustice against a long time member of the party who was denied a fair chance to compete for the leadership. Many at home and abroad sympathized and supported him. Some, like myself who sympathized with him still supported the party at the last polls for reasons that has to do with the risks associated with dividing the party's votes. The results of the elections came as a surprise to many in the PPP. The party won the most votes but was slightly short of a majority in parliament.
The new parliament began with a new and radicalized Nagamotoo. The AFC immediately began toeing the PNC line by offering them full support on everything from budget cuts to supporting criminal elements from Agricola to Linden. The new Moses began acting like a PNC thug with his colleague, Ramjattan, going on TV and making all sorts of wild and absurd statements. The public watched in amazement and disbelief at this life-long PPP stalwart suddenly backsliding on everything that he ever lived and fought for. His isolation began to grow and the AFC began to lose not only its rank and file but the executives began fleeing to other parties.
The man who brought votes to the AFC is now a pariah in the very communities where he was held in high esteem. The AFC is not expected to retain those votes in regions 5 and 6 where Naga was a star His fall from political stardom will be fully realized in the next elections when the ruling party scoops up those votes that were lost due to internal fracases in the party over leadership
