Granger should lead APNU+AFC to polls

David Hinds

The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) will soon disclose who it supports for the APNU+AFC coalition’s President and Prime Ministerial (PM) candidates at the upcoming general elections but President David Granger has the support of party executive David Hinds.

Hinds, however, believes that a woman should be the PM candidate and should come from one of the smaller parties, possibly the AFC.

 “The WPA will officially make its position known in due course. So, I can’t speak for the party at this point. But in my personal capacity, if the coalition is facing the electorate in its current configuration, I will support President Granger as the presidential candidate,” Hinds told Stabroek News on Thursday.
