GENERAL Secretary of the Alliance For Change (AFC), Mr. David Patterson, on Tuesday, confirmed that Mr. Sasenarine Singh has resigned, with immediate effect, as a member of the AFC. Patterson said: “We have received the letter of resignation from Mr. Sasenarine Singh.

We take this opportunity to thank him for his service to the party. Sase worked hard for the AFC, especially during the 2011 elections. His knowledge and understanding of financial matters, especially, was well respected and relied on.”

According to the General Secretary, Singh tendered his resignation for personal reasons and those are respected.
“There is no hard feeling and the mutual respect remains. We wish Sase all the very best in the future and look forward to the time when he will remigrate to his homeland to continue the struggle for a better Guyana.
“The members of the party and Sase will remain friends outside of the political arena,” Patterson said.
In his resignation letter, Singh wished the AFC well, as it seeks “to lead our people out of underdevelopment and away from the politics of nepotism, crony capitalism and pettiness.”
He added: “I will re-enter active politics in Guyana when the opportunity for remigration to my homeland presents itself, which I hope would be sooner than later.”
The former AFC member also thanked the leadership of the party for its guidance and for affording him the opportunity to serve the people of Guyana.
Singh is the latest loss to the AFC, following that of Haseef Yusuf, who also quit last October.
