While Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo has suggested that the Alliance For Change’s recent selection of a coalition prime ministerial candidate was ill-timed, newly-elected Vice Chairperson Cathy Hughes had defended the decision, while saying it was a necessary move.
Nagamootoo raised the issue last Saturday as he was leaving the party’s National Conference ahead of the commencement of discussions on the issue.
“While I may believe that the timing of this may not be an ideal timing, I don’t decide that. That is a party decision and I have to abide by the decision,” he told reporters outside of St. Paul’s Retreat, where 275 delegates were gathered.
