Mohummud Siddick Chady (born in 1951), most commonly known as Siddick Chady is a Mauritian physician, politician, and former minister.[1]
Early life, education & career
Chady grew up in Rose Hill and travelled to Europe to study medicine. His family owned a number of businesses including Cinema ABC, and Blockbuster Video Network (BVN).[2][3]
Family life
Siddick Chady was married to Naserah Bibi Vavra, also known as La Reine de Plaine Verte and Lady Di who has been married four times, her first marriage occurring when she was 14 years of age. In 2006 Vavra married drug trafficker Siddick Islam, also known as Ti Nerf. The latter was convicted and is serving a 30 year sentence at the Beau Bassin prison.[4][5][6]
Political career
Chady's political career started at the 1991 General Elections as a candidate of Alliance Parti Travailliste/PMSD in Constituency No. 19 - Stanley and Rose Hill. He was defeated in that constituency by Jayen Cuttaree, Paul Bérenger, and Jean Claude De L'Estrac of Alliance MSM/MMM. However after the elections he was nominated into the Legislative Assembly as a Best Loser.
At the 1995 General Elections he was elected as a candidate of Alliance Parti Travailliste/MMM in Constituency No. 19, alongside Jayen Cuttaree, and Paul Bérenger. Until 2000 Chady served as Minister Environment, Human Resource Development and Employment.[7]
At the 2000 General Elections Siddick Chady changed constituencies and was candidate of Alliance Parti Travailliste-PMXD in Constituency No. 3 - Port Louis Maritime and Port Louis East. He was elected, along with Samioullah Lauthan (MSM-MMM) and Mohammad Nanhuck (MSM-MMM). Chady's election as a member of the Parti Travailliste in Constituency No. 3 was regarded as unusual as it had been a stronghold of rival party MMM.[8] However, Siddick Chady did not complete his 5-year-term as he resigned from the National Assembly in 2004 in order to resolve problems arising in his private business ventures. Chady's resignation did not trigger by-elections.[9][10][11]
At the July 2005 General Elections Chady was a candidate of Alliance Sociale in Constituency No. 3 but was he neither elected nor nominated this time.[12][13][citation needed]
