This ticket with Trotman and Ramjatan is going to cause Donald and Corbin some sleepless nights.

Caribj, here's to you.

Everyday the AFC seems to be getting stronger and stronger and we in the PPP still carrying on with all sorts of dotishness like appreciation day.

Unbelievable.

Excellent move by the AFC. Consolidate and expand on base.

30,000 voted for the AFC in 2006 when it was barely a few months old.

Since then the AFC has gained strength in Region 6.

At the very least a minority government is in the making.

Jagabat super pension will be revoked during the first week of the new government.

yall shouldnt mess with the Presidents Pension the man needs that money to continue running his household etc.

Happy to see the KFC has a PM Candidate.

The PPP will name our PM candidate post elections.

The Alliance For Change (AFC) has named Raphael Trotman as its prime ministerial candidate following the withdrawal of Sheila Holder for health reasons last week.

Trotman along with executive member Cathy Hughes had been nominated to replace Holder prompting the `party’s National Executive Committee to meet. Hughes subsequently withdrew at Saturday’s meeting and threw her support behind a Ramjattan/Trotman ticket, the party said.

“I was really very happy and proud to be nominated and to be considered. During the course of our deliberations and through the process we went through this morning I did decide to withdraw my nomination and I decided that my contributions would be best served putting them behind the very capable Khemraj and Raphael who I’ve worked very closely with over the last six to seven years,” Hughes told reporters following the meeting.

Trotman had previously indicated that he was not in a position to be the PM candidate because of health reasons. On Saturday he indicated that those issues have since been resolved.

“Last October I was in a place where I had some medical concerns of my own; I have since had doctors here and abroad examine me and again, perhaps miraculously, I have been given a good and clean bill of health,” the AFC Leader stated. He added that the time away allowed him to do reevaluate his purpose in politics and to identify what he wants to do to better serve people.

Asked whether there were conditions attached to him accepting the PM candidacy Trotman responded in the affirmative.

“Well of course we do have some concerns in terms of particular areas of interest for me where my where my strengths will be, these are things we’re going to have to work out and work on. We are in a process of unveiling those but it has to do with firstly settling the decision.

No two candidates are the same and I being of course the leader of the party, having experience in some communities as against others I think the party will try to place me where it will get the optimal results,” Trotman stated.

He added that he and Ramjattan are still to work out who will be the leader of the party’s list entering the polls.

Party insiders told Demerara Waves Online News (www.demwaves.com) on condition of anonymity that Trotman is willing to give Ramjattan veto power on a number of key decisions.

Meanwhile, a statement from the party said there was unanimous support from the executive members for Trotman as PM candidate.

Holder, 65, announced her withdrawal on September 9 stating that it was medical reasons and that she would require “urgent medical treatment” overseas for the next few months.

She had been hospitalised locally in recent months. She is currently in the US where she sought advanced care and treatment with the expectation of making a full recovery.

a wise choice soon a fresh breeze will past over guyana and we will start to clean house as i say i have a list and every day it getting longer and longer i hope non of you boys is not on it are you on it nehru

Seems he knows that, then why this looooong delay. Nagamotoo has a following and credibility. But leh we see nah!

Congratulations to Mr Raphael Trotman and the AFC. The AFC is Guyana's future. Let us march towards victory!

Who is that tall red-shirt man standing up in the background with his head chopped off?
He looks like a Martian alien.


So, the AFC has chosen its two top candidates, eh. It's not my right to dispute their choice. But I really feel sorry for Mr Ramjattan and Mr Trotman. After the elections they're returning to parliament with fewer seats. The writing is on the wall.

The fact is that Moses should have been the presidential candidate....

The PPP is going into this elections with a less than credible candidate who is perceived as Jagdeo's hand picked stooge for the presidency.....

CongraT, Congrats to Mr Trotman.

As we press on over the next 8 weeks we must also pray for our Dear Ms Holder for a speedy recovery to come and help us close the show and push all the baby Gaddafis from New Garden Street now called Chanderpaul Drive to the Atlantic Ocean.

Which means that Nagamotoo will likely not play second fiddle on any ticket.

Churchy Bhai, I also agree that Moses should be the presidential Candidate. However, The Central Committee has spoken and we should respect that.

Why would you feel sorry for Ramjattan after the elections.

I feel sorry for your Top PPP-man Ralph Ramkarran who was destroyed by the One-man PPP Central Committee.

Everyone feel sorry Ralph was forced to lie about what went on at OP.

Who lie because they thought the PPP will support them to be President?

Who the cap fit let them wear it!

They lied on Ramjattan, US Cables said so, we now know was the leak, it was that fair skin smoking woman.

AFC is power hungry. I do not see how they can change Guyana and make it better. The overseas Guyanese backing the AFC has their own agenda.

Sase dont insinuate aunty Gail was carrying news to the whiteman dat is a dangerous stereotyping.

Who is more power hungry than Jagdeo? Who fixed the PPP party election to choose Ramotar? Who will promote a Ramotar family dynasty should he win? Who killed Minister Sawh? You seemed to have missed the happenings in Guyana.

Come on, all parties have an overseas chapter, primarily for fund raising. Didn't the PPP draw on it's diaspora for talent when they gained power? In their days, the PNC also brought in overseas talents from time to time. So then what makes the AFC any different.

I will this again and again until we revisit this expulsion of Khemraj Ramjattan at the highest levels of the PPP and issue an apology to this man.

This was the biggest mistake the PPP ever made. It was a stupid move by followers not leaders. It is also the only mistake his Excellency has ever made but I think he was influenced by a lot of other news carriers if you get my meaning.

I have said also the PPP should apologize to Mr Ramjattan. The problem is they never feel accountable to anyone because of blind support. As a result, I am not hopeful that such an apology would be issued. BTW Jalil, does Gail still have her high paying consulting job at OP?

These two are doers not talkers. They put to shame Nagamootoo and the rest of the old PPP fools who are hoping that Mr JAGDEO &Ramoutar CAN ACCOMODATE THEM AT SOME POINT.

As a matter of fact Sash Sawh came from the Diaspora So did Raj Singh, Randy persaud, Misir, Ramsammy and many others.

The diaspora is a great source of intellectual and financial capital that Guyanese should seriously harness for productive and constructive change.
