After more than four hours of robust, open and candid discussions, the Party passed the following resolutions:
1-The AFC will accept a 60-40 split at all levels of government with 60% of the positions being held by representatives of the APNU.
2-The Party from which the Presidential Candidate is named, shall not be permitted to nominate and/or occupy the position of the Leader of the List.
3-In keeping with the earlier unanimous decision of the NEC in January of this year, Party Leader Nigel Hughes shall be the Party’s Presidential Candidate.
