Not forming an alliance with APNU might have meant the death of the AFC, the party’s leader Khemraj Ramjattan has said even as he emphasised that it was time to move beyond the history of the PNC.
“Not joining up might have been the death (of the AFC) because a lot of people might just have felt that you’re not there for wanting to change…if I hadn’t come out of that negotiations with something, I think that a lot of Afro-Guyanese would have felt that I was racial, that all I want is power…and it could have been a tremendous setback for my party. You could have had even the Afro-Guyanese leaders leaving it and so it could have been the death knell in another way,” the AFC co-founder told Stabroek News in an interview on Sunday while disagreeing with those who said that the AFC allying itself with APNU was the death knell of the party. He questioned how long they are going to be haunted by the past of the PNC.
Ramjattan defended the alliance with APNU saying that the personnel in APNU are not the same who participated in
