MMM: Reza Uteem Calls for Bérenger's Presence at the Delegate Assembly on April 11 to 'See Firsthand What the Activists Want'

The Mauritian Militant Movement (MMM) will hold its delegate assembly on April 11 at 3 PM in the municipal hall of Belle-Rose. This announcement was made by the 'group of 15' following a press conference after a political bureau meeting held on Monday, March 30, at the Port-Louis municipality.

According to Reza Uteem, a list of the party's branches, covering all constituencies, has been finalized. The delegates listed will be authorized to participate in the assembly, and representatives from different branches will be able to vote.

The MMM president reminds that last Friday, a large majority of the central committee voted in favor of keeping the party in the government. He specifies that this body comprises 30 members elected nationally, 40 appointed by the regions, along with three representatives from the youth wing and three from the women's wing.

At this stage, 67 members have voting rights, with about ten having left the party since the last election of the central committee.

Mobilization has already begun, says Reza Uteem, urging each branch to rally for a strong turnout on April 11.

He expresses confidence in the outcome of this consultation: "We have no doubt that we are headed toward a very large majority of delegates who will ratify the central committee's decision for the MMM to remain in government."

The MMM president also commented on the four options mentioned by Paul Bérenger on Saturday. He hopes that Bérenger will attend the delegate assembly to 'see firsthand what the activists want.'

Reza Uteem also stated that he is prepared for a potential by-election in constituency No. 19.

He criticized the re-emergence of certain past alliances: "The most serious thing is that he has started to mention the MSM option again, the Jugnauth option, the 2000-2005 option."

For reference, during his rally at the Plaza on Saturday, Paul Bérenger presented four options for the party: to remain in government as 'backbenchers,' to defer to the delegate assembly, to take the matter to the Supreme Court, or to establish a new party ahead of the next elections.
