Leader of the Opposition and Chairman of A Part-nership For National Unity (APNU), Aubrey Norton has hinted at his party’s likely participation in the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGE) vowing to prevent the government from attempting to “dominate and control this entire society.”
Since the announcement of LGE last month, APNU has not sent a clear signal as to whether it will be participating or not. Instead, Norton has consistently said that the party will make the decision when the time arrives.
APNU’s coalition partner, the Alliance For Change (AFC), on Sunday announced that it will not be contesting the local government polls with the present list come March 13, 2023. The AFC’s National Executive Committee (NEC), in a statement, said that no election should be held on the existing list of electors because it is “bloated, illegitimate and a source of electoral fraud”.
