The Opposition APNU+AFC is accusing President Irfaan Ali of consulting in bad faith following the first meeting between him and Leader of the Opposition, Aubrey Norton.

The two leaders met last Friday in their official capacities for the first time where a number of preliminaries were clarified on appointments to constitutional commissions. That meeting was a result of an invitation from President Ali to Norton.

Yesterday, Norton hosted his first press conference as Leader of Opposition where he addressed a number of issues including the recent meeting with the President. At last Friday’s meeting, Norton requested the curriculum vitae of proposed appointees be provided for perusal prior to future discussions and President Ali has agreed to make those documents available to him.
