Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton yesterday declined to shake President Irfaan Ali’s hand at an Emancipation day event in New Amsterdam.
The incident was captured in a video that was being live streamed by President Ali’s Facebook page. The video began with Ali arriving at the New Amsterdam market place and greeting those present with handshakes and hugs.
However, when he extended his hand to Norton and three others standing close to the Opposition Leader, they all refused to reciprocate. This happened 6 minutes and 13 seconds into the video. Instead Norton made a quick nod to the President who then turned and went to his seat.
