-after attacks on party
The AFC has asked Region Six Regional Democratic Council (RDC) member Haseef Yusuf to vacate his seat after a no-confidence motion against him even as he has defiantly dared party leader Khemraj Ramjattan to move him.
“No I will not [resign]… I will not. When Ramjattan was expelled from the PPP did he step down as a Member of Parliament? That is what I want to ask him to his face…let him try to move me,” Yusuf told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted after the AFC announced that its leadership had written him indicating that he was no longer considered a party representative on the RDC.
Yusuf denied receiving any correspondence from the party informing him of its stance on his continued membership on the RDC. However, he maintained that even if he had been informed about the party’s loss of confidence in him, he was determined to remain a serving councillor and would not resign. “I have not gotten any letter… this is the first I’m hearing of this but no, I will not resign,” he said.
Prior to the formation of the AFC, Ramjattan, after being expelled from the membership of the PPP, retained his seat
