As the deadlock continues between coalition partners APNU and AFC over the selection of a candidate to fill the post of Vice Chair of Region 10, Chair of the Alliance For Change (AFC) Cathy Hughes is maintaining that the party is independent and that the APNU has no role to play in its selection of representatives.
That position was communicated during a telephone interview with the Stabroek News yesterday.
The post of Vice-Chair for Region became vacant in June of last year when Douglas Gittens died from COVID-19. The vacant position was handed to the AFC after the APNU broke its deal and appointed its own candidate for Vice Chair of Region Four.
