AFC says early indications are that no party will have Parliament majority

The Alliance For Change this morning said that early indications are that no party will gain a parliamentary majority.

In a statement, it said “It appears from these early indications that no one party will gain a parliamentary majority and the race is very close.”

The party said it continues to receive information from its polling agents which showed the AFC “trending well”. It said in some polling divisions, the AFC has surpassed the numbers posted by the parties which have traditionally controlled these areas.

In the key test ground of Whim, the birthplace of former PPP stalwart, Moses Nagamootoo, results from three polling stations collected by Stabroek News showed the AFC and the ruling party running neck and neck with the PPP/C gaining 296 votes and the AFC 272. Whim has been a traditional stronghold for the PPP/C but Nagamootoo’s joining of the AFC took support away from the ruling party.
