At least three new faces are to take up parliamentary seats for the Alliance For Change when the 10th Parliament is constituted later this month.
Party leader Raphael Trotman and Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan are the only two of the five MPs from the previous parliament returning to the House. The AFC is returning to the House with seven seats, two more than they previously held.
According to an AFC official who chose to remain unnamed, the newcomers are party executives Cathy Hughes and Veerasammy Ramayya and youth representative Trevor Williams.
Former PPP member Moses Nagamootoo will be facing members of the party he called home for some 50 years from the AFC benches.
The representative for Region Eight is still to be finalized though consultations the official said. Meanwhile, the official also sought to dispel rumours that the AFC was joining with the PPP.
According to the individual, they support A Partnership for National Unity’s (APNU) call for a reconciliation of the statements of poll but were not questioning the results from GECOM since they matched closely with what the party had.
The party official said that the AFC will be making its statements available for the exercise. The APNU has been demanding an all-party verification of the statements of polls saying that there were too many discrepancies in the process particularly in Region Four.
