Labour-PMSD alliance sealed with MP as third partner

Sources told WFTV the Labour Party has sealed an alliance with the PMSD and the MP of Mr Alan Ganoo.

The PMSD is to get 12 tickets and the MP 3 tickets. The rest goes to the Labour Party.

However, the Labour leadership has promised the PMSD that it will increase its ticket share to 15 if the party does well on May 1.

“If the PMSD draw the same crowd that it did in the last few years, then the Labour may consider increasing their ticket share to 15,” the source said.

Nevertheless, the PMSD is also looking for two tickets in Beau-Bassin-Rose-Hill where the MMM is firmly entrenched.

“This is not going to happen,” said the source, who added that it is the PMSD’s secretary general’s office that is pressing for the two tickets in BB-RH.

Last year WFTV reported that an alliance between the Labour and the PMSD were 80% done.

On the other hand, Alan Ganoo is said to have finally turned his back on the MMM after trying to put the party together.

The MP has finally decided to join the Labour-PMSD in the ‘Red-Blue’ alliance.

The parties are now putting all efforts to draw the maximum crowd to their May 1 rally. The intention is to show their crowd-pulling prowess.

On the side of the MMM, the situation is now stable with the retreat of Pradeep Jeeha. The party has decided not to sanction him for his retreat from the politburo.

It is now up to firebrand lawyer Madan Dulloo to vet for the post of deputy within the party, said a source to WFTV.

This is yet to come as the party is still restructuring its bases, said the source.
