APNU+AFC supporters say they are confident that the coalition will once again be re-elected to office next year after the no-confidence motion that was tabled by Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo was passed leaving dozens of their supporters in tears last night.
More than 200 supporters of the Government, decked out in their green and yellow shirts gathered on the northern section of Brickdam in front of Parliament Building from as early as 1:30 pm. They were armed with placards highlighting the coalition government’s achievements over the past three years and had said that they had no doubt that the PPP/C motion would be voted down.
Despite the numbers of supporters waning throughout the night as the debate stretched into the night, after 9 pm, when the motion was put to a vote, a large contingent was still present as they eagerly awaited the results.
