Parties gear up for Monday showdown

A Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change met this afternoon at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition while PPP executives also held a meeting at Freedom House as both sides strategize for Monday’s Parliament showdown.

A statement from the opposition said that the combined opposition remains united in its commitment to the passage of the ‘no confidence motion’ tabled for debate in the National Assembly on Monday 10th November 2014.

Representing APNU were Leader of the Opposition Brigadier David Granger, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine, Amna Ally, Carl Greenidge, Basil Williams, . Joseph Harmon, Ronald Bulkan and Winston Felix.

The AFC was represented by Leader Khemraj Ramjattan, Moses Nagamootoo, Cathy Hughes, David Patterson, Valerie Garrido-Lowe and Michael Carrington.

President Donald Ramotar has stated that were the opposition to move ahead with the no-confidence vote he would prorogue or dissolve Parliament. Today’s meeting at Freedom House likely discussed what will be the government’s strategy on Monday.
