Ramjattan gets COCKED!

Stabroek News AFC mouth-piece: Following a meeting of its National Executive Committee (NEC) yesterday, the leadership of the AFC remained unchanged while it announced that it would stick by a promise to rotate its top two candidates for next year’s general election.

Kaieteur News PNC mouth-piece: This newspaper learnt, however, that the current party leader, Raphael Trotman, was not too keen on leaving in place the principle of rotating and argued against it saying it was impractical. The rotation system of the party was implemented when it came into being, given the racial polarisation of voting in Guyana. Elections will be held at the National Conference where the NEC’s decision will either be ratified or thrown out. At that point, a firm decision will be taken to determine the Presidential and Prime Ministerial Candidates. At present, Khemraj Ramjattan remains the Party’s Chairman and Raphael Trotman the Leader.
