The PPS Francisco François Francois in all likelihood will not be a candidate in the regional elections, he keeps his seat in the National Assembly which could propel Franchette Gaspard Pierre Louis as a leader within the OPR.
The electoral machinery is really set in motion in Rodrigues. The mathematics of the different political parties are bubbling. There is a lot of talk in Rodrigues about the fact that PPS Francisco Francois is the favorite to replace Serge Clair and take over the leadership of the OPR in the future. According to our sources, at the last moment there was a change at the highest levels that forced PPS Francisco Francois to remain in his position in the National Assembly. With the possibility that Francois takes part in this election at the regional level, he will have to resign from his position in the National Assembly which will have an effect on the national team. With this current situation, Franchette Faspard Pierre Louis, the Commissioner of Women, Education, Training, Information Technology, SME and others could be called to become the leader within the OPR for this regional election.
With the mission that the electoral commissioner Irfan Rahman carried out in the island, serious things are pronounced and the dissolution of the regional assembly is imminent.
