AFC didn’t work hard enough to deserve more councillors- sources

As councilors for Guyana’s nine towns prepare to be sworn in following recently held Local Government Elections (LGE), word has surfaced in some quarters that the Alliance For Change (AFC) did not campaign enough and so was not entitled to be rewarded with more seats.

A top AFC official has said that party could not legitimately demand more proportional representation seats from A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) because the AFC did not work as hard as it should have in the run-up to the LGE.

On the matter of the absence of consultations between APNU and AFC for the allocation of seats, another top official attributed that to a breakdown in communication. The Working People’s Alliance (WPA), which is part of APNU, was not consulted before the names of the councilors were submitted to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM).

On the issue of an absence of consultations among constituents of the APNU+AFC coalition, APNU’s seasoned elections official, Amna Ally told Demerara Waves Online News that it was the Neighbourhood Democratic Councils and Towns that decided who should have been councilors. “This is not about names that submitted. This is about a process that took place within the NDCs and the Towns. We ,as leaders, really facilitated the coming together and putting it in semblance and so on but these are names that came from the communities” she said.
