AFC says National Executive Committee to determine participation in local gov’t polls

Khemraj Ramjattan

Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan has said that the party’s National Executive Committee will be making the determination as to whether it will participate in the upcoming local government elections (LGE).

This position comes after AFC Chair Cathy Hughes told sections of the media that the party will be boycotting the elections due to concerns over the credibility of the voters’ list.

However, at a press conference yesterday Ramjattan said that Hughes may have been speaking in her personal capacity but assured that no such decision has been made at the party level.
