AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan on Friday said that the party agrees that all options must be pursued to sort out the raging controversy surrounding the December 21 passage of the no-confidence motion against the APNU+AFC government but stopped short of saying whether the party supports the argument that 34 votes and not 33 was required for the motion to be carried.
“The party didn’t argue that specifically. The party says everything that is legal and legitimate, we must pursue and the lawyers will have a handle in that and that is what we are doing,” Ramjattan told the Sunday Stabroek when asked if the party supports the argument, first raised by former AFC Chairman Nigel Hughes.
Ramjattan said that the party’s executive met “immediately after” the motion was passed on December 21 and it has decided that “we (AFC) must do exactly what the government is doing, try to get all options open.”
