The Alliance For Change (AFC) remains optimistic that a pro-democracy grouping will result in the expulsion of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Administration which has, according to the opposition, done little or no good for Guyana in recent times.
The Party has no doubt that such an alliance, which will include alignment with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), will daunt any of its supporters.
This was told to the media yesterday by AFC leader Khemraj Ramjattan as he hosted his party’s weekly press conference.
Ramjattan was asked if his Party considered the fact that many who voted for the AFC in the past did so to run away from PPP and the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR)-dominated APNU, and to what extent will an alliance affect such support.
“I feel it will not in any way daunt them,” Ramjattan replied.
He said that those who supported AFC for its fresh outlook can rest assured that none of AFC’s polices will be compromised.
In this regard, Ramjattan stated emphatically that the AFC will not align itself with APNU unless it is an AFC-led alliance.
“So if it will be led, there will be no cause for concern and whatever we said we will go into elections with we will do so,” said Ramjattan.
He added that “It will be more beneficial to those you say may be daunted by that move.”
Also, AFC Vice Chairman Moses Nagamootoo said that “most persons who voted for the AFC voted consciously for change, and if we are able to bring together more forces we may have a positive change.”
Nagamootoo placed emphasis on the fact that the proposed alliance is “not only APNU, we are talking about civil societies, other organizations such as state unions and those persons who are being marginalized and sidelined in the PPP as I speak right now, because they dare not put up challenges to the powers that be in that administration.”
He said that the AFC believes that the impetus of carrying a broad front offers a greater opportunity for change and “I believe it will be a landslide victory for Guyana if we were able to have a united front in this election as opposed to several parties.”
Nagamootoo said that the AFC will not lose any supporters if voters understand that “It (the alliance) is not what is wrongly being brandished to the effect that it is an AFC-APNU alliance…our pro-democracy alliance is for the people’s front against this corrupt regime.”
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
