No. 1 - Resignation of 54 Members from Various Branches of the MMM: "This is what we call a fake list," says Arianne Navarre-Marie
Arianne Navarre-Marie quickly reacted following the resignation of 54 members from different branches of the regional committee for Constituency No. 1 (Grande-Rivière-Nord-Ouest/Port-Louis Ouest) of the Mouvement Militant Mauricien (MMM). The minister and deputy for Constituency No. 1 labeled this list as "fake."
"This is what we call a fake list," she stated. According to her, only six of the 54 individuals mentioned are actually from the constituency.
This morning, a group of 54 members, claiming to be from various branches of the regional committee for Constituency No. 1, announced their collective resignation effective immediately this Friday morning.
In a correspondence sent to the party's secretary-general, Rajesh Bhagwan, these members indicated they would go to the party's secretariat located on Rue La Poudrière in Port-Louis to officially notify their withdrawal.
According to the document submitted, the resigning members are leaving not only their respective branches in Constituency No. 1 but also all their roles and affiliations within the MMM.
This decision is portrayed as a collective and organized initiative. It comes in the wake of a call from the former purple leader, Paul Bérenger, for a regrouping of militants under a new political banner.
