June 5, 2020 6:40 am

There are concerns over alleged attempts to derail the process of uplifting the suspension of the Social Democratic Liberal Party.

FBC News understands some influential members of suspended SODELPA are trying to introduce new issues unrelated to the suspension.

Vice President Vijay Singh is waiting for new appointments to the Management Board before calling a meeting to decide the date for the Annual General Meeting.

However, in the midst of all this, a petition is being circulated asking that when the Board is convened, it urgently tables a motion for a No Confidence vote against Singh.

Suspended SODELPA members who are privy to the matter have told FBC News that this is not helping efforts to have the Party moved out of suspension.

There are senior suspended Party members who are behind this newest tactic to divert the focus of the Management Board which is being re-constituted for the sole purpose of having the suspension lifted.

FBC News is told that while such issues can be brought to any Board meeting, now may not be an opportune time.

FBC News understands that about half the suspended SODELPA constituencies have selected their Management Board representatives.

The 20th of June is being touted as the likely date for the AGM.
