Alliance for Change (Guyana)

Alliance for Change (Guyana)

The Alliance for Change is a Guyanese political party formed in 2005. When formed it included three parliamentarians who left other parties, namely Raphael Trotman of the People's National Congress, Khemraj Ramjattan of the People's Progressive Party and Sheila Holder of the Working People's Alliance. Trotman became the leader of the party. At the August 2006 parliamentary elections it received 8.1% of the vote and won 5 of the 65 seats, becoming the third largest political party in Guyana. The party’s platform includes making race a less important factor in Guyanese politics and reforming the political system to avoid domination by one political party.
