AFC Chair says engagement with Western diplomats a success

AFC Chair Cathy Hughes

Chair of the Alliance For Change (AFC) Cathy Hughes said that the party’s engagement with diplomats from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union (EU) largely revolved around the need for a new voters’ list and electoral reforms before heading into another election.

The meeting, which took place at the Sophia headquarters of the People’s National Congress on Thursday, was a result of a request by Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton and included representatives of the AFC’s coalition partner, A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

US Ambassador to Guyana, Sarah-Ann Lynch; UK High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller; Canadian Chargé d’Affaires, Caroline Mireault and the EU Chargé d’ Affaires, Evalina Melbardze, comprised the diplomatic delegation. While Hughes, AFC Leader Khemraj Ramjattan and AFC General Secretary Sherod Duncan represented the party.
