Ramgoolam "Our Supporters Prefer to Watch Football"

The Prime Minister, Navin Ramgoolam conceded that there were flaws in the government alliance campaigns for the municipal elections. He added that abstention also proved costly to the Labour Party/Parti Mauricien Social Democrate alliance.  Abstention is a term in election procedure for when a participant in a vote either does not go to vote (on election day).  Many would like to say to Ramgoolam that this is not the case  and the majority of citizens just do not trust him enough to cast a vote because of the way he has betrayed his country and people with scandals, corruption and of course Mauritius Gold Medal for drug addicts.

“The mentality developing among our own members is a negative one. We need ‘educate’ them. Some of our members preferred watching football instead of actively engaging in our campaigns,” said Ramgoolam.

He also congratulated the 2000 Remake alliance for winning in three of the five towns. A recent opinion pole suggested that many Mauritians would rather an early election rather than suffer 2 more years of his dictatorship.
