AFC appoints Nagamootoo ‘Elder Statesman/Political Advisor’

Following the unanimous approval of the Alliance For Change (AFC) National Conference on Saturday, the party has appointed Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo to a newly created position of Elder Statesman/Political Advisor.

A statement from the AFC yesterday said that the position has no term limit and Nagamootoo will serve on the party’s Management Committee as a full voting member.

Nagamootoo had been nominated to contest the positions of Leader, Chairman and Vice Chairman on Saturday but withdrew his candidacy on the eve of the elections adverting to the need to “make space in the party leadership for a new generation of leaders”.
