Governing coalition partners APNU and the AFC differ on when negotiations for a revised Cummingsburg Accord are expected to wrap up, with the AFC saying that Monday will be the last meeting between the two electoral allies while APNU has indicated that talks are likely to conclude before the end of the year.
The AFC yesterday said that the party is prepared to campaign alone if a new accord is not agreed by Monday. “This deadline can no longer be extended,” the junior coalition partner said in a statement.
Meanwhile, APNU’s chief negotiator Volda Lawrence told a press conference held at Congress Place yesterday that, “We believe that we will able to conclude all negotiations and all our agenda items by the end of this year as we are working towards.”
