ANOTHER HIGH RANKING AFC MEMBER RESIGNS!
As the fallout continues over the Alliance for Change(AFC) merger with the PNC’s A Partnership for National Unity(APNU) yet another senior member of that opposition party has resigned. Balwant Persaud, a member of the AFC’s executive today submitted his resignation. Persaud cited the party’s betrayal by joining with the PNC, internal corruption and cronyism as some of the reasons behind his decision. This brings to two, the number of high ranking members to have resigned over the past few days. Former General Secretary Sixtus Edwards also broke ranks and listed similar reasons. He told one media entity that at least five other senior officials are expected to do the same shortly.
