How many votes did Ministers David Paterrson and Noel Holder bring in for the AFC?

I wonder where you got the notion that AFC voters were overwhelmingly Indian? 

 

Just be sure that Nigel Hughes and Trotman brought in many non Indian votes.  Cathy stands as proxy for Nigel.

 

In 2006 the AFC vote came overwhelmingly from the mixed and black vote.  Evidence is that they lost around 30% of it to Granger in 2011.  That still suggests that the non Indian support in 2011 was still at least 50%.

 

To suggest that the AFC only got Indian support in 2011 is pure nonsense.

 

The issue with the AFC is that it put on an "Indian face" to split the PPP vote, by highlighting Nagamootoo, and Ramjattan.  It is clear however that much of the political leadership of that party is non Indian.

 

I challenge you to go argue that Trotman and Hughes didn't bring in any votes.

 

The question that you should be asking is who from the AFC Indo faction, aside from Ramjattan and Nagamootoo, carries enough clout within the hard core AFC membership.

 

Please remember that the AFC was basically formed from Trotman, and some allies. joining with Ramjattan.  Until Nagamootoo arrived on the scene the AFC was an upper urban middle class black and mixed people party.
