Alliance for Change (AFC) executive member David Patterson yesterday said that the Charrandas Persaud that defected and voted in favour of an Opposition PPP/C no-confidence motion on December 21 is not the man he knows.
“[I was] extremely shocked. I mean come on!” he told reporters. Patterson yesterday painted a picture of a man who cared greatly for the residents of Region Six and who always represented their interest.
Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo filed the motion on November 15 declaring no-confidence in the APNU+AFC government. The motion was debated on December 21 and five MPs from each side made arguments which, in total, lasted more than six hours.
