Harmon says miscommunication may have led to coalition split in Region Four Vice Chair poll

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) General Secretary Joseph Harmon yesterday suggested that a “miscommunication” caused an agreement with coalition partner Alliance For Change (AFC) to fall apart during the election of the Vice Chair of the Region Four Regional Democratic Council (RDC).

“It appears that on the floor the agreement was not honoured…it was in fact a requirement that the councillors on the ground be advised about this agreement. My understanding is that there might have been some breakdown in communication but that is a matter that is being investigated,” Harmon told a press conference yesterday.

He explained that it was for APNU to inform APNU candidates and for the AFC to inform AFC candidates of the nature of the agreement and revealed that Aubrey Norton, Executive member of the PNCR, which is the main constituent of the two-party APNU, was on the ground in Region Four to do just that.
