According to its General Secretary, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) is investigating why an agreement between it and the Alliance for Change (AFC) fell apart during the Election of Chair and Vice Chair of two Regional Democratic Councils (RDCs).
“There was an agreement between the APNU and AFC about the Chair and Vice Chair. The situation which arose at the elections is under investigation,” General Secretary Joseph Harmon said when contacted by Stabroek News for comment. He declined to explain the nature of the agreement.
Stabroek News understands that as part of the revised Cummingsburg Accord, the two members of the Coalition agreed that a member of the APNU would Chair any RDC won following the May 2 Regional Elections. A member of the AFC was to be elected Vice Chair.
