The Alliance For Change has secured the Chairmanship of Region Eight (Potaro/Siparuni).
Party executive Mark Crawford is the new Chairman of the Region following today’s elections at the regional democratic council office. It is the first time in its history that the AFC will hold the Chairmanship of a region. It won a plurality in the region at the recent national and regional elections but would have required support from one of the other groups to clinch the Chairmanship. It is believed that the APNU would have voted in favour of the AFC candidate.
