HGP Nightly News Report : At a recent political rally, Ganesh Mahipaul, a prominent figure in the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), suggested that if the APNU secures government after the September 1, 2025 elections, the allegations of rape against Nigel Dharamlall should be reopened. “And if Dharamlall must go to jail to pick up soap, so be it,” Mahipaul asserted, emphasizing his stance on accountability.
Dharamlall, the former Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, resigned in 2024 following a rape allegation made by a 16-year-old schoolgirl. The accusation was formally submitted in a written complaint to President Irfaan Ali and subsequently circulated on social media. Although the young woman later expressed her desire not to pursue the matter further, the case remains a point of contention in the political landscape.
Mahipaul’s comments reflect the ongoing tensions surrounding the allegations and highlight APNU’s commitment to addressing issues of accountability and justice in their campaign leading up to the elections. As the political climate intensifies, the reaction to such allegations and the responses from both parties will likely shape the electoral discourse.
