Georgetown: The AFC will not join the coalition today, tomorrow or in the future. Numbers or not, the AFC is a viable party in its own right and will not be bullied into joining the coalition. Furthermore, what measuring device does anyone have to determine that the AFC is on the wrong side of history? Why not APNU? These comments came in response to criticisms made against the party for refusing to join the APNU.
According to theparty, the AFC was formed on the basic principle to provide a third alternative to the PNCR and PPP/C. This is its primary objective and it will not change. If the PNCR does not believe that it can win the election on its own, then that is a problem for its leaders. They should know that elections are won or lost based on campaigns and not on coalitions, the AFC added.
The AFC explained that it is most likely to split the votes and prevent the PPP from having a majority in a three-way race. Any smart politician should know that the PPP is more likely to win in a two-way race because the coalition will be associated with the PNC. And we all know how that will resonate with certain sections of the Guyanese population.
In victory or defeat, a party must maintain its principles or it will lose its credibility concluded the AFC.
