Reform of the electoral system-recommended over a decade ago and strongly supported by various local and international actors-is a priority for the political opposition and there is renewed hope that the new configuration in the National Assembly will see the process move faster.
Both Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine and Khemraj Ramjattan-the deputy-leader of the main opposition APNU and chairman of the AFC, respectively-told Stabroek News recently that they expect the ruling PPP/C to support the reforms as it has previously accepted them.
