VIDEO AT END OF REPORT: APNU+AFC’s Persaud says “YES”
After seven hours of perfunctory debate the National Assembly descended into bedlam last night when Government Parliamentarian Charrandas Persaud voted in favour of a no-confidence motion brought against the government he represents.

Dec 22, 2018 – Kaieteur News
Parliamentarians for the government side were bowled over, yesterday. They had no idea that AFC’s Charrandass Persaud who shockingly voted in favor of a no-confidence motion last evening, was going to do so.
