Natural Resources Minister Raphael Trotman has once again been elected leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) party after a close contest today that he won by two votes over the incumbent, Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan.

In a post on his Facebook page, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo said the vote was 127 to 125 in favour of Trotman, after votes were tallied at the party’s 5^th Biennial National Conference at the Vreed-en-Hoop Primary School.

Trotman, who co-founded the party in 2005 with Ramjattan and the late Sheila Holder, had said last week that he was available to serve if nominated.

Nagamootoo, who declined nominations for the top party posts, also reported that Ramjattan was declared party Chairman, unopposed, after Public Communications Minister Cathy Hughes declined to contest for the position.

Long live the PNCAFC. AFC has now become PNC. Like a black hole, the PNC swallowed the AFC. Moses knew this was going to happen so he decided to withdraw. There goes the coolie votes.

This is only good news for the PPP if we don't see a return of the old style PNC rigging. Just picked up a guy from Guyana who is not pleased with the new government there.
