THE Alliance For Change (AFC) is expected to host its national conference around mid-June, and Party Chairman, Khemraj Ramjattan has reiterated his interest in being the Prime Ministerial candidate for coalition at the next general elections, if afforded the opportunity.
“Of course I think I will be. Yes, I have already indicated my interest,” was Ramjattan’s response when asked whether he is up to the task during a media conference at the AFC’s Kitty, Georgetown head office.

With him at the briefing was newly- appointed Minister of Business and AFC Executive Member, Haimraj Rajkumar. The AFC party chairman, however, reminded his audience that the choosing of the prime ministerial candidate is generally done by way of elections during the national conference, when he rather suspects that that issue will be dealt with. He said, too, that he is certain that there are others who have indicated their interest as well. “And so it is going to be interesting. And it is good to have inside of political parties,” he added, as he alluded to what obtains within the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States. He said that the membership of the AFC will be looking forward to whatever is the decision to be made. AFC Leader Raphael Trotman had, some time ago, said that he still supports a Granger/Nagamootoo ticket for the  APNU+AFC coalition going into the 2020 General Elections.
