LOCAL Government Elections (LGE) will be top on the agenda when the Alliance For Change (AFC) holds its third quarterly National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Saturday.

In a statement on Tuesday, the AFC stated that major focus will be placed on plans and preparations for LGE slated for later this year. Earlier in the year, the AFC agreed to contest the much anticipated elections with its coalition partner, the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU). The top brass of the parties were expected to meet to discuss matters relating to the elections.

“This NEC will focus exclusively on the party’s position, plans and preparations for the upcoming Local Government Elections (LGE),” the AFC said. The NEC meeting will be held at the Sophia Exhibition Centre. Representatives from all 10 administrative regions and from the diaspora are expected to attend.

At a NEC meeting in May, Leader of the AFC Raphael Trotman informed those sitting at the helm of the party that on April 30, he received a response to the AFC’s 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. It is anticipated that during Saturday’s NEC meeting, the proposed course of action will again come up for discussion.
