Another AFC deadline for revised coalition accord passes without deal

Three days after officials declared that governing coalition partner Alliance for Change (AFC) would be contesting the March 2020 elections alone if the terms of a revised Cummingsburg Accord were not concluded by yesterday, the party is now saying it will address the matter at the end of the week.

At the AFC headquarters last night, General Secretary David Patterson declined to answer any questions put to him on the negotiations.

Asked if there had been a meeting with A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), Patterson said “no comment.”
