Alliance for Change (AFC) Chairman Nigel Hughes last evening suffered a heart attack, reports said, and up to press time arrangements were being made to medivac him to the city from the Aishalton Hospital in the Rupununi.
His wife, Cathy Hughes, said that based on the reports she received, he had a heart attack; she was still trying to ascertain how serious it was.
The attorney last Friday travelled to the Rupununi villages of Maurdi, Aishalton and Lethem to meet residents and miners over the use of the land.
He was scheduled to fly back to Georgetown from Lethem today.
Stabroek News was reliably informed that the GDF was putting measures in place to have Hughes medivaced to the city.
This newspaper was also told that the flight time is about two hours each way.
