Norton says AFC wants to stand alone for now, in talks with WPA

Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton has confirmed that his party remains in talks with the Working People’s Alliance for a coalition in the upcoming general elections, while the Alliance For Change (FC will contest on its own. 

Guyana’s next general and regional elections are due in 2025 and Norton, when questioned during his weekly press conference on Tuesday about the possibility of a coalition with the two parties, stated that they have been in talks with the WPA to go to the polls together.

However, he said the last position with the AFC was “we will continue to operate as a parliamentary opposition, APNU+AFC, but the AFC wants to do its political work for now by itself, and at the right time we will look at coalition politics.”
