“I THINK the AFC has signed their death warrant, meaning they are quite likely to be the biggest losers in an election that is going to be hotly contested in a two-way fight.”

The foregoing were the sentiments expressed by General Secretary of the ruling People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Clement Rohee, who was commenting on the alliance between the Alliance For Change and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), which coalesced over the weekend.

He acknowledged the critical importance of the upcoming May 11 General and Regional Elections, particularly considering the existing political state of affairs, and the gridlock that has gripped the nation for the last three years.
“Who don’t end up dead politically, will come out badly wounded,” he posited.
According to him, supporters of the PPP who migrated to the AFC during the 2011 General and Regional Elections have been “returning home”, and the alliance may well be an impetus for that trend to continue.
“This might very well do so… give impetus to the process,” he said.
