Ramjattan, Patterson nominated to be AFC leader

The incumbent Khemraj Ramjattan and David Patterson have both received nominations to be leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) at the party’s upcoming National Conference.

Ahead of the conference, which will be held next Saturday, the AFC yesterday announced that both men were the only nominees for the post of party leader. Each of them was nominated by eight groups.

Ramjattan has already said he would vie for the post if nominated, while Patterson, the party’s current General Secretary, last week also told this newspaper that he was ready to contest for the post if nominated.
