AFC to reveal elections ‘construct’ month end

By the end of this month, the AFC will reveal under what “construct” the party will be contesting the next general elections even as discussions continue with the opposition coalition APNU on a pro-democracy alliance.

“Prospects are always good,” the AFC’s General-Secretary David Patterson told Stabroek News yesterday and said that he agreed with an assessment by APNU leader David Granger, who, in revealing that talks have been going forward with the AFC last week, had said that prospects are “good.”

Patterson told Stabroek News that before the end of the month, the AFC will come to a definitive position on under what construct, the party will be going into the next elections. Discussions are ongoing and they remain optimistic, he said.
