WPA withdraws from APNU over non-consultation on MPs

The Working People’s Alliance (WPA) has withdrawn from opposition coalition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) after not being consulted on the candidates selected as its representatives in the National Assembly and the Region Four Regional Democratic Council (RDC).

It has however left the door open to reconciliation.

“The time has come when the WPA is forced to draw a line in the sand and say that enough is enough. Since 2015 there has been no new and progressive dispensation within the APNU and there is no recognition of the rights of the partners to contribute to the decision-making process and more importantly, for each party, not the General Secretary of the PNCR, or its Leader, to determine unilaterally, the allocation of seats to each member party of the APNU for Parliament, RDC and NDC. In a meeting before the March 2. 2020: General and Regional Elections, with you, comrade Granger and other PNCR representatives in the Ministry of the Presidency Media Centre, we made our position clear on the above matter and were assured by you that we have an agreement – only to learn that this was not so when our nominee for Region 10 was not put on the list of candidates,” WPA Secretary Tacuma Ogunseye wrote in a letter to APNU leader David Granger on Wednesday.

Hahaaaaa

my belly ah buss

This is the second coalition partner which has called out Granger for dictatorial behaviour and non-consultation with APNU partners.
On Tuesday, General Secretary of the JFAP, Savitri Sharma, accused Granger and the PNC of using and discarding the smaller parties.
“We feel that we were used when they needed us, and now that they don’t need us, they kicked the small parties out under the pretext of saying that we are cardboard parties. We were the parties which caused APNU to go into Government. If we were not there, APNU would not have been in Government. So, they stood on our backs to climb to where they were, and now that they got there, they don’t have need for the support there any longer,” Sharma said during an interview with Guyana Times.
JFAP, which is led by Chandranarine Sharma, had a seat in the last Parliament, which his son Jaipaul Sharma occupied. Mrs Sharma said that, as a member of the APNU, their party was never consulted in the crafting of the list, and several correspondences to the PNC went unanswered.
