The Alliance For Change (AFC) today will respond to A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) Leader, President David Granger on the matter of contesting the Local Government Elections (LGE) which is due in the latter half of this year.

The party in a statement also said it will issue a detailed statement on the decision of its National Executive Committee (NEC) which deliberated on the matter at the Georgetown Club on Tuesday.

The meeting was attended by members of the NEC, representatives from all the administrative regions and the diaspora, including from Grenada who represented the AFC Caribbean Chapter.

Leader Raphael Trotman reported to the meeting that on April 30 he received a response to the AFC letter dated February 26, 2018 which was sent to the APNU leader regarding the upcoming Local Government Elections.

The AFC’s letter outlined a number of matters, including the issue of the approach to Local Government Elections and the response from the APNU leader’s proposed course of action.

APNU and the AFC have decided that they are going into the local government elections as a coalition, AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan had said last month.

However, the two will have to thrash out a number of issues in relation to candidacies and other issues, he said.
