The AFC on Wednesday announced that preparatory work has started for its 2nd Biennial Conference, to be held in July.
The Conference would be held on Saturday July 25, at the Ocean View International Hotel and Conference Centre, which is expected to be host to over 500 delegates and observers from all ten regions and several chapters in the Diaspora along with special invitees and guests.
According to a statement from the party, the conference would see elections for office bearers-the Leader, Chairman, General Secretary, Treasurer and 12 Committee Members who all comprise its National Executive Committee. The new Executive would be charged with managing the party’s affairs for the next two years.
The party will utilise the Electoral College system for the identification of delegates at the conference. It noted that local government and general elections are among the issues to be discussed.
The last AFC Biennial Congress was held on July 27, 2007 at the St. Stanislaus College.
What I’d really like to say about the AFC party, the SN may not permit me to publish. Therefore I will hold my comments for another time.
How them does allow you to trash the PPP,, saw what you have to say and if they refuse to post your blog then we shall take to the streets in protest,,,What you think Biswattie????
So much gargage you say about the PPP in the past and the SN permit you,why can,t they permit you now if you really like to say something about the AFC?Don,t hold it for another time,say it now.
Go AFC! This will be democracy at work and on display for Guyanese to see what a political party should be run like.
It will be a good demonstration of the kind of governance you can look forward to AFC leaders providing and serving this nation with distinction vs. The current crop of ahhh you know who!
I hope you are getting one of those positions Samrow.You are working very hard for the AFC.
LET US HOPE GPL DON’T PAY A VISIT TO THE OCEANVIEW HOTEL THAT DAY. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
How it will be great Samaroo??? How ? One ah born PPP that embraced the PPP all his life, he can make some progress, but then again he looking Tokyo Going London and one is Born PNC…Where will they take Guyana??? When one Build something the other will Reform it… So where will Guyana go??? Open your eyes na Sam…
PR and media hoopla about so called cross country representation is understanble when party organisers building image. But election time is what counts when people vote for a party with roots and history of fighing for their rights.
The whole concept of a “third” party “rising above” the so called useless existing lot needs more dicsssuion. It was tried in othe countries (look a England with the Liberal party !)In the last election, the AFC took votes from whom ? And what about that poll givin them some big percentage win. They paid a pollster in arbados for a poll but didn’t use it because it gave tem sch a bad sowing. Instead, they used an inflated figure because the man who got paid had to show something for his money. Samaroo ?..
You couldn’t be more happy my friend, keep the spirit up.
The Headline suit them…”AFC Gearing up for Congress” I will ask my friend in Guyana to present them a few pairs 8 ozs boxing gloves to sort out their power struggles, Khemraj vs Trotman and the winner will take on Samaroo…The special refree will be New Comer from the Roop corner…
I will tell you how it will be great, the AFC will pledge not to pay for any ministers housing. If they live in a flat house in betterhope today, that is where they will reside until they choose to move and purchase their own home.
2. AFC will not purchase vehicles above the cost of a Rav4 for official use only! you want to guh and drink rum at the corner shap walk.
3. The AFC will pass and FOI bill within 30 days of taking office.
4. The AFC will not have political appointees running around in the civil service like red rover!
5. The AFC will purchase windmills and transition GY to beyond 50% power generated from renewable sources including bio diesel.
6. AFC will shed the insane duty paid on vehicles and actually collect the money and get rid of all duty free loop holes.
7. AFC will sell chronicle, NCN, GBC and create a comprehensive broadcast policy within 90 days.
8. AFC will actually listen to the auditor general and prosecute corrupt civil servants.
9. DPP will be autonomous.
Shall I continue solideer?
You still cannot understand Samaroo,,,that is on paper, Guyanese are smarter than taht and will not fall into this trap,,,It is easier said than done, you can put a lot more on paper but these are failed policies,They will sell NCN and Chronicle to aviod exposing their mismanagement you mean..Oh I now see they have their eyes on the treasury,No financial institution do not recognise failures Samaroo so who will finance all your dream plans,,,Heck,,,why am I going so far,,,they cannot even come close to get 5000 votes at election…
AFC is all the hope the people of Guyana have really. It’s good to know that Peter Ramsaroop joined the party lately too. I think it’s a brilliant move.
I believe Gomattie Singh may beg to differ with you. Happy campaigning.
Very good! Way to go AFC, its good that the party can cover all ten administrative regions……..the team of the conference should be, “ Making Guyana a safe place for all Guyanese to live”. This is a bread and butter issue. Why should I run away from my country?
Guyanese just keep running away from Guyana to lands of no return.
very good afc show the pnc and ppp how it’s done .
They already shown the PPP/PNC how its done with Gomattie, what is there more for them to show.
They cannot even see past their nose , they will show PPP anything…It is nice to bla bla on some weakness of the Government but to put the bla bla into place is far beyond visionless people like AFC…
Show the PPP and PNC how a Biennial Conference is done? you got to be joking, those parties were doing it long before i was born.AFC has got to make public their plan for CHANGE then they will be considered a serious party.CHANGE in GUYANA is doing anything contrary to what the PPP and PNC has done to the country and it’s citizens,if they’ve got a plan for that then they will get my vote.
your govt has all the vision soldier that is why you could not prepare a business plan to get the 1.6 Billion Euros.
Your govt has all the vision that is why the 34 million US dollars illegally went from NIS to Clico and bankrupted NIS to build the big vision bridge.
your govt has all the vision that is why you give buddys a loan and the tax payer was repaid with free hotel rooms and an egg ball for govt officials.
Your govt has all the vision that is why they had to use a known drug trafficker to help with crime fighting and law enforcement.
Shall i continue solideer?
Marc going by your statement the PPP and the PHENC should know how to run a country by now as wel right?
ahhhhh ya not so much!
a fac cee, gearing up, BS i think they are in the reverse gear and not the forward.
BS is you presence need let us know, forget cant go to guyana the pee pee pee waiting for you. lol
They are in reverse gear freespeech that is why your prezzo got nailed in trinidad when we exposed him for his dictatorial behaviour.
They are in reverse gear that is why 4000 sugar workers bailed from GAWU.
They are in reverse gear that is why JAgdeo lowered fares on the Berbice bridge after he vehemently insisted fares wont be lowered.
They are in reverse gear that is why the poo poo poo are in giddy up mode handing out house lot day and nite all of a sudden.
They are in reverse gear that is why Jagdeo calls up Sharma and threatens him if he airs certain AFC programming that exposes him giving away 34 Million USD to Clico
a group of opportunist are heading for congress.guyana only solution towards economic recovery is recolonisation.we cannot run this country because we always want to out smart each other.there is no co-operation.everyone wants to be the next leader.if they cannot be,well form your own party and become a leader.
dats why u in canada, soon the u.s will govern canada.
I am not convinced that the current crop of politicians, by whatever name, will make Guyana better.
AFC is simply a rehashing of PPP and PNC.
There is a perception that their experiences under the respective regimes, along with their (AFC) supposed intellectual achievements, will make them more effective. That in my mind is an illusion.
AFC does little to represent ordinary Guyanese currently. They are a party which apparently is waiting for power to do ’something”.
I am no fan of Jagan’s but at least he was working for his people while they were in the opposition.
Guyana is done. I believe that firmly.
Blacksage you are misinformed do some reading will you?
http://www.afcguyana.com/
i give u my blessing to be successful in next election….that is a true democratic guyanese party.. go brave AFC…
Are you guys becoming members?
I am already a member colin 2 nice already a member. 2011 is a chance for people to put up or shut up.
Don’t whine about the PPP and PHENC after 2011 if you dont vote AFC.
Samaroo fo home affairs minista!!!!
i am a donor
GO AFC!! I would luv for allyuh to tek ova da country and show dem PPP how da wuk is done. This is AFC, not KFC and POPEYES. They are going to lead Guyana out of the abyss. I gine back to Guyana & help the Guyanese people thru AFC.
Hahaaaa,,,This is healthy Seal, a very good laugh early in the morning does do some good…
you are the man navy seal. This is exactly the game plan for the AFC to encourage more non resident Guyanese to join us and take back our country from these corrupt people.
No third party will ever make it in Guyana even Peter Dagiaur with his highway to happiness and his massive $$ and foreign help did not make it, those of you who are dreaming about the AFC leading Guyana will have a shock come 2011,the PNC will take back their votes and the PPP/C will increase theirs leaving the AFC without any seat to fight over who is going to collect a salary.
The AFC took away votes from both the PHENC and the PPP last elections and this run we are going to dominate both of these corrupt entities. End of story.
The Guyanese public are totally fed up with the shenanigans and corruption of the PPP and PHENC.
