When will the AFC and PNC hold their leadership races?

Aug 29, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

The two Opposition political parties are guilty of deliberately seeking to stall the voting, which will take place once the bodies hold their conference and congress respectively.
To say firstly that the Alliance For Change is moving along with its planning at a slow pace is an understatement. It should have held its national conference already. The General Secretary, David Patterson, is not being honest about what is really taking place behind the scenes. Where is the party leader, Raphael Trotman? I’m sure he knows why they are not holding it now. The delegates, as I understand it, are ready to go. Even the venue picked out for the conference is on standby. But the leadership is not aware of anything that members will say and do. They are not too certain about the performance of the parliamentarians. Party members are weary for Regions 10, 4, 6 and 7 as there are many issues to be discussed.
Secondly, the PNC has adopted a vow of silence on the Congress. I hear that they are going to stall it and hold it next year in January. The leadership is yet to meet on the plan, which will mark many exits and entrances of familiar and new faces. The party is hoping to wait until talk and interest in challenging David Granger as the PNC leader dies down. Confusion and uncertainty lies ahead.
Finally, it is a great disappointment to their supporters and members if the Congress is pushed back any longer. These people want to elect new leaders of the AFC and APNU+PNC. They are not pleased with certain individuals being at the helm of the party any longer. They want change. Can some leader answer me, when will the conference and congress be held?

Yours truly,
Suraj Singh
