National Executive member and former Regional Councillor, Francis Darchiville, has tendered his resignation from the leadership of the Alliance For Change. His resignation became effective on January 20, last.
Darchiville’s decision to sever all political ties with the party, he stated, has to do principally with some of the most critical decisions

made within the leadership of the party. Darchiville said that he was, “for some reason” not made aware of any.
The very vocal Darchiville added that while his primary decision has nothing to do with any personal grievance with the leadership of the party, his decision, however, has to do with the recent appointment of Regional Councillors.
Darchiville said the appointment of councillors should have been based on intellect, creditability, loyalty, hard work and respect in the community in which that councillor would have functioned, and not because the councilor is connected, or because the leadership wants to project a racial balance.
“I personally do not feel that people who have given of their time, loyalty and means for the past six years, should be sidelined just to accommodate people who are newcomers.”
Darchiville added that another of his decisions has to do with his ill health.
Mr.Darchiville, a remigrant, served as a National Executive Member and also in the capacity as a Regional councillor for the past five years.
