Mahendra Chaudhry
Mahendra Pal Chaudhry (born 9 February 1942) is the leader of the Fiji Labour Party in Parliament. Following a historic election in which he defeated the long-time former leader, Sitiveni Rabuka, the former trade union leader became Fiji's first Indo-Fijian Prime Minister on May 19 1999, but exactly one year later, on May 19 2000 he and most of his Cabinet were taken hostage by the hardline Fijian nationalist leader George Speight, in the Fiji coup of 2000.
