Businessman and Presidential Candidate for the Change Guyana party, Robert Badal, says discussions with other new parties about coalescing were frustrated by the lateness of talks, which left a narrow, insufficient window for discussion and agreement before Nomination Day.
He also said that while Change Guyana is open to joining lists with others, the party is wary that this has the propensity to negatively impact the traction he says Change Guyana has created since its launch. As such, Badal insisted, any party wishing to join lists with Change Guyana must, bring value to the table. Such a partnership, he elaborated, must benefit Change Guyana, as well as the other parties involved.
Badal made these statements during the party’s weekly press conference yesterday.
