The Alliance For Change (AFC) says it will be meeting on Sunday to discuss the way forward after yet another fallout with its coalition partner, the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU).
The latest fallout stems from the election of the Chair and Vice Chair for the Region Four Regional Democratic Council (RDC) whereby the AFC was snubbed for the position of Vice Chair despite a previous agreement between the two sides.
The move has resulted in AFC’s David Patterson resigning as General Secretary of the party. Patterson had helped craft the previous agreement which stipulated that the AFC would get the Vice Chair positions in Regions Seven and Four.
