Hughes says status unchanged since resignation as AFC Chairman

While Alliance for Change (AFC) member Nigel Hughes says his resignation as Chairman remains in effect, the party does not seem to want to let him go as its Leader, Khemraj Ramjattan maintains that Hughes is still in the post.

“I resigned a few months ago as Chairman and my status remains unchanged,” Hughes told Stabroek News in response to a question on his status.

It has been five months since the prominent city attorney tendered his resignation following a retreat by the party where statements were issued on matters including the powers of the Minister of State, Joseph Harmon.

After his resignation, the party swiftly held a high-level meeting of its executives and subsequently informed the public that consideration of the resignation would be deferred.
