Leader of the opposition APNU/AFC, Aubrey Norton, today seemed irate when he appeared in a live Facebook broadcast and said that the president bullied him into shaking his hands. Norton alleged that he was “in his corner” when the president showed up “with a set of cameras” and attempted to shake his hand. He said he refused, but President Ali bullied him into a handshake – an act which seems to have caused Norton some amount of emotional distress.
David Patterson and Khemraj Ramjattan, two AFC members, have both expressed strong interest in contesting for the leadership position of the Alliance for Change Political Party. The two were the only nominees and will be officially contesting to become the next leader of the AFC.
