THE Alliance For Change (AFC) on Thursday said its supporters were in agreement with it forming an alliance with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) to contest the May 11 elections, Vice Chairman Moses Nagamootoo has said.Nagamootoo has also dismissed reports that the AFC’s main constituency in Berbice was not too in favour of the “marriage” between the two parties. Speaking at the party’s weekly press conference at the Georgetown Club on Thursday, Nagamootoo stated that the AFC has been engaging its party members and members of the public on the coalition talks, and so far, all stakeholders were supporting the possibility of a coalition between the party and APNU.
Nagamoottoo also said, “I was at a meeting at Best Village, West Coast Demerara and after we had spoken to the people, I put to them very specifically, ‘Do you support the idea going forward with an alliance?’ and I asked them to raise their hands. One hundred per cent of those who attended support the idea of the alliance,” he related.
He related that while he cannot, at this point in time, state much on the matter, he was satisfied with the way things were progressing.
If Nagamootoo already polled the crowds by asking them to put their hands up and 100% did, then why is there any talking going on between AFC and PNC?
Nagamoottoo should immediately jump on it and give the people what they want since their hands were 100% up in the air.
Nagamoottoo went on to say “We are confident that we can win. We have never had a multi-party, multi-race, multi-class party in the history of Guyana. It is a tragedy that we never had such a coalition, especially one that can form the new government. As to whether or not there will be definitive results in this talk, we are satisfied at this point of time that we have re-introduced into the national agenda, the question of unity, of healing, the question of reconciliation, the question of moving this country forward, not as a part, but as a whole,” he said.
If Nagamoottoo is confident of winning, then why is he still talking about “as to whether or not there will be definitive results in this talk”?
Based on the alleged ‘reaction’ of the crowd to Nagamoottoo’s question, he should be jumping for joy and jump in bed immediately with the PNC.
So what talks Nagamoottoo and AFC waiting for?
Oh Oh, now I get it, the talk with AFC and PNC is to see who will head the coalition.
PNC’s Granger will never allow Nagamoottoo to be head master of him and PNC.
Remember PNC Desmond Hoyte said as long as he lived, Cheddie Jagan will never be president of Guyana?
I have very bad and very sad news for both Nagamoottoo and Granger.
Granger nor Nagamoottoo will never be president of Guyana, once elections are free fair transparent and credible.
What Nagamoottoo should have asked the crowd if they trust PNC Granger since PNC Granger said openly he does not trust Nagamoottoo.
