Opposition alliance hoping to draw 15,000 supporters for Nomination Day

Promising 15,000 supporters to escort their leader to the nearest point to City Hall for tomorrow’s Nomination Day, the APNU+AFC coalition is assuring persons it will be a celebratory march.

Co- Chairman of the alliance Raphael Trotman told Stabroek News that his party expects at least 15,000 persons to join in support as the leaders prepare to make their way from the Square of the Revolution to City Hall tomorrow to present their list of candidates.

He said that mobilization commences at noon at the Square of the Revolution. Participants will then walk from there, via Brickdam and turn right on to Avenue of the Republic, pausing at City Hall. There, a group will detach from the procession and hand in their list of representatives. The others will proceed on Avenue of the Republic turning right on to Church Street then left on to Carmichael Street, subsequently assembling at Parade Ground.

Trotman wants to assure the public that the procession will be celebratory yet orderly and that persons in the procession should be on the lookout for anyone attempting to disrupt the gathering.
