AFC sees support base growing as it heads to biennial National Conference
The Alliance For Change (AFC) is finalising preparations for the Party’s third biennial National Conference in the midst of a growing support base, according to Executive Member Michael Carrington.

He noted that the National Conference is the largest gathering of AFC members and serves to bring members up to date on what the Party has been doing and also to allow the full membership the opportunity to design the way forward for the AFC over the next two year period.
Carrington explained that the AFC anticipates that the 2012 National Conference will be the biggest ever as the Party celebrates the advances made over the past two years, especially those of the 2011 National and Regional Elections.
AFC members from all across Guyana and the Diaspora will converge in Region Four for the Conference, which will be held on July 28, at the Ocean View Convention Centre.
It will be a celebration and also a time to align the Party to maximise on the strides made since the AFC stepped unto the local political arena in 2006, Carrington stated.
He explained that from 2006 to present, the AFC continues to attract Guyanese from across all racial, social, religious and other divides and is ever growing as the voice of reason in a society that has been fragmented by politics of the past.
“More recently, the AFC has positioned itself as the Party strongest on anti-corruption and is fighting against injustices meted out to the ordinary people by those in authority,” he stated.
Adding that the AFC is built on rock-solid membership and grassroot support, coupled with leadership that encourages open dialogue and a strong focus on youth development, Carrington noted that the party support base in and out of Guyana continues to grow and this is demonstrated by the number of persons joining the Party and the thousands of others who verbally express their appreciation and support for what the Party is doing.
Last Saturday, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the AFC met at Ocean View Hotel and advanced the planning for the Conference.
Delegates from all 10 administrative regions in Guyana, the Caribbean, Canada, the United States and the UK have committed to participating in the conference.
He further noted that at last Saturday’s meeting members affirmed their commitment to the AFC, its principles and positions and reassured the Leadership and colleagues of their unwavering support.
