AFC denies reports of partnership with APNU

-says it is a “stink red herring” from PPP/C

The Alliance For Change (AFC) has denied claims by the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) that it is partnering with coalition opposition, A Partnership For National Unity (APNU).
The party ruled out any such possibilities.
“Constitutionally, there is no possibility of a post-election alliance and so such an occurrence is both legally and philosophically wrong and impossible,” AFC said in a statement yesterday.
According to the party, it is not amused at the rubbish being peddled by Robert Persaud and others that it is involved in some shape or form, in an arrangement, alliance, partnership, or coalition with the APNU.
“There has been no joint working together between the two camps as the AFC sees itself as being in opposition against the political establishment, which archaic establishment includes the PNCR, the main constituent partner in APNU,” the party stated yesterday.
“Despite every attempt by the PPP/C’s candidates to lump all the opposition groups against it into one camp, the AFC will stridently maintain its independence and its focus of relieving the people from the PPP’s oppression.”
AFC believed that the accusation is a “stink red herring”, which the PPP has thrown into the arena as a desperate attempt to salvage its “sinking ship”.
“The people know that change is within the grasp and they will not relent or relax their passion for change, and support for the AFC.
Further, the party has been reliably informed that the dirty tricks departments of Freedom House and the Office of the President have been instructed by the PPP’s campaign team to fabricate material to suggest an AFC and APNU alliance of some sort. People be not fooled, the dictatorship is crumbling,” the statement said.
AFC’s Presidential Candidate, Attorney-At-Law Khemraj Ramjattan, had teamed up with PNCR’s Raphael Trotman, and the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), Sheila Holder, among others to form that party.
AFC went on to win five seats in the 2006 General Elections.
