APNU+AFC to participate in consultation on electoral reforms after about face

Less than one day after the APNU+AFC announced that it will not be participating in the national stakeholders’ consultation on the draft amendments to Guyana’s electoral laws, it has now backpedalled on that position by announcing that it will be taking part.

The announcement was made by the Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday.

The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance will be spearheading the consultation on Tuesday, October 25, 2022 at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre. According to the ministry, the consultation forms part of a continuous consultative process which began on November 6, 2021, when the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance published the draft Representation of the People (Amendment) (ROPA) Bill and the draft Regulations made under the Representation of the People Act on its social media pages.
