Among the conditions is a 60-40 split “at all levels of government with 60% of the positions being held by representatives of the APNU”.
Other conditions include, “The Party from which the Presidential Candidate is named, shall not be permitted to nominate and/or occupy the position of the Leader of the List” and “In keeping with the earlier unanimous decision of the NEC (National Executive Committee of the AFC) in January of this year, Party Leader Nigel Hughes shall be the Party’s Presidential Candidate”.
The conditions for coalition were approved after the NEC held a special meeting on Sunday, the AFC said.
“The meeting was held to specifically address, the status of discussions between the APNU and the AFC on the formation of a coalition to contest the 2025 General and Regional Elections”, the AFC stated before adding, ” The meeting was chaired by Party Leader Nigel Hughes and was fully attended”.
