AFC set for talks with APNU on local gov’t elections

Leaders of the Alliance for Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) will soon be meeting to discuss the terms of their going into local government elections later this year as a single unit, AFC Leader Raphael Trotman says.

Trotman yesterday told Stabroek News that while no formal meetings have been held as yet on the matter, he expects that the two sides would “meet soon”.

It was the AFC’s Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan who last week announced that a decision was made between the two parties to go into the 2018 Local Government Elections as a coalition and that a letter had been dispatched to President David Granger requesting a meeting to “thrash out matters” before campaigning begins.
