AFC congratulates Ali

The Alliance For Change (AFC) yesterday congratulated President Irfaan Ali on his election while maintaining that there were “countless” irregularities at the March 2nd election and this would be pursued via a petition.

In a statement yesterday, the AFC, a key part of the former governing coalition, APNU+AFC, said that the peaceful transition of Government that has occurred “confirms our people and the nation’s commitment to the Constitution and the processes and institutions of democracy”.  

The AFC said it was “extremely disappointed” with the outcome of the elections process,  especially as “countless discrepancies and irregularities were not taken into account by GECOM at the time of making its declarations”.
