Patterson open to AFC leadership run

Alliance for Change (AFC) General Secretary David Patterson has signaled his readiness to contest to be leader of the party if nominated.

Only two days remain before the close of nominations for the AFC National Conference, to be held in just under two weeks, where the party’s members will vote on a leader for the next two years and whether to remain a part of the main opposition coalition with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).

“All systems are in place. Nominations and motions have to be [submitted] by May 31st. Same date for the delegates’ submissions,” AFC General Secretary David Patterson told Sunday Stabroek.
