Darren Wade says WIN & APNU collaborated in elections 

Darren Wade on Sunday confirmed that there was some collaboration between WIN and APNU in the 2025 General and Regional Elections.

“During the election period, I was asked at Congress Place [the headquarters of the People’s National Congress] by senior stakeholders to file legal proceedings on behalf of WIN.

“Before proceeding, I sought confirmation from our Leader [Aubrey Norton] as to whether he agreed with that suggestion, and he not only agreed but encouraged me to assist WIN, even though one or two other lawyers were not in agreement,” Wade, an attorney aligned to APNU, said in a Facebook post on Sunday.

WIN is the newly formed We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) political party led by sanctioned businessman, Azruddin Mohamed. A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) is a PNC-led coalition.

During the elections, People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) leaders said WIN and APNU were collaborating. However, both parties denied that collaboration.

According to Wade, he has been representing Azruddin and his father, Nazar. The attorney also revealed that he represents the WIN candidates whose bank accounts were closed because of their association with the sanctioned party leader.

The revelations from Wade on Sunday come after talks between WIN and APNU for electoral collaboration in the regional elections failed.
