General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C), Clement Rohee says the Alliance For Change (AFC) has signed off on its political “death warrant†when it signed onto the Cummingsburg Accord which is the terms of agreement of the AFC’s pre-election coalition with A Partnership For National Unity (APNU).
DAYS after the Alliance For Change (AFC) General Secretary, Sixtus Edwards, resigned from the party, another member has publicly issued his resignation and has alleged that the recent decision to form a coalition with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) was one made by a ‘gang of five’, without the authorisation of its membership.Attorney-at-Law Balwant Persaud, speaking at a press conference yesterday, vowed to do everything in his power to ensure the AFC does not come to power and has in fact now endorsed the People’s Progressive Party / Civic (PPP/C), the party, he said, for which he will now campaign.
The opposition coalition plans to retain the names of the two major parties but will not be allowed to have two symbols on the ballot paper as this will be a violation of the Representation of the Peoples Act, officials said Friday.
Co-Campaign member, Raphael Trotman told a news conference that the coalition would be going into the May 11, 2015 general and regional elections with their individual identities – A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) – Alliance For Change (APNU-AFC)
