Juretha Fernandes
Juretha Fernandes is a prominent politician in Guyana, known for her involvement with the Alliance For Change (AFC) party. Recently, she was in the news as the AFC considered her for the position of Prime Ministerial candidate in a proposed opposition coalition. However, the coalition talks have faced challenges, particularly due to the insistence of PNCR leader Aubrey Norton to remain the presidential candidate. The dynamics of the coalition negotiations reflect the broader political landscape in Guyana as parties seek to present a unified front against the ruling PPP/C in upcoming elections.
