Kaieteur News – The Alliance for Change (AFC) on Friday announced that its National Executive Committee (NEC) elected Laura George as its Prime Ministerial candidate.
In a brief statement, the AFC said that George was elected following “an intense process of deliberations” where members of the party’s NEC participated in the “rigorous process which was conducted in an air of camaraderie and fairness.”
At the end of the four-hour long process AFC Presidential Candidate Nigel Hughes stated, “The AFC has done itself proud tonight. It had a process, it was transparent, everyone was allowed to question the candidates and this all augers well for the future of our Party.”
George, a former teacher, is best known locally and internationally as an indigenous rights advocate with more than twenty years of dedicated service to promotion of indigenous rights and the uplifting of Amerindian communities in Guyana.
“The Alliance For Change has over the last week released several of its progressive development policies that will create a new and prosperous republic if elected to government. The Party and its members are well into the campaign travelling across the length and breadth of Guyana holding intimate public meetings with citizens of Guyana,” the party said.
