[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Alliance for Change (AFC) is still to elect and announce its Presidential and Prime Ministerial Candidates even as dialogue with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) for a coalition government intensifies.

 

The AFC had stated that it would name its candidates after President Donald Ramotar announced a date for elections; however, this is still to be done, despite the May 11 announcement as ‘E’ Day.

Reports indicate that the candidates will be revealed after the AFC would have completed its coalition talks with the APNU. Recently, Leader of the APNU, David Granger stated that these discussions are expected to conclude within four weeks.

[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Alliance for Change (AFC) is still to elect and announce its Presidential and Prime Ministerial Candidates even as dialogue with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) for a coalition government intensifies.

The AFC had stated that it would name its candidates after President Donald Ramotar announced a date for elections; however, this is still to be done, despite the May 11 announcement as ‘E’ Day.

Reports indicate that the candidates will be revealed after the AFC would have completed its coalition talks with the APNU. Recently, Leader of the APNU, David Granger stated that these discussions are expected to conclude within four weeks.

During a telephone interview with iNews on Monday, January 26, AFC’s General Secretary, David Patterson explained that the Party’s focus is to ensure that its elections process is done in a fair and transparent manner.

“We, the Party unlike others, I don’t want to call names, have to have an elections; it’s our constitution. A date hasn’t been set for that; most likely we will discuss that it in a week or two and we will set a day for that.”

He said there is no delay in the process, explaining that the AFC wants to ensure its members are properly mobilized.

“Everybody has to be given due notice and brought down here [Georgetown], all the members because it’s such an important thing for equal opportunity for all.”

Patterson admitted that internal lobbying is taking place by supporters of the various nominees, but in a democratic manner.

The front runners for the Party’s leadership posts include Moses Nagamootoo, Cathy and Nigel Hughes.

“Everybody has an equal opportunity, there are three persons up for the Presidential and five for the Prime Ministerial and each person I would think has their group of supporters who think they are best suited for the Party, we are a Democratic Party, the persons with the most votes will be our Presidential and Prime Ministerial Candidates,” the General Secretary explained.

Patterson rejected the notion that the AFC is being unfair to its supporters regarding the time it is taking to have its conference convened to elect its Presidential and Prime Ministerial Candidates.

Its very interesting to listen to the residents in the constituencies that were once sympathetic to the A.F.C, especially in Whim, Berbice as it relates to the A.F.C "secret talks" with the P.N.C.
