Adrien Charles Duval (born 1990) is a politician, former Deputy Speaker, and currently the Speaker of National Assembly of Mauritius.[1]
Adrien Duval is the son of Xavier-Luc Duval, leader of the PMSD, and Jennifer Duval and grand son of Sir Gaëtan Duval. His father and grandfather are both former deputy prime ministers[2] [3]
After completing legal studies at the University of Kent and the University of Law in England, Adrien Duval returned to Mauritius and started his pupillage at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution under Rashid Ahmine's supervision. He then continued his training at the law firms of Marc Hein and Rajesh Bucktowonsing.[4] [5]
At the December 2014 general elections Adrien Duval was elected in Constituency No. 17 Curepipe-Midlands under the banner of the PMSD, and soon afterwards was nominated as Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly (Mauritius). In 2016 he ceased to be Deputy Speaker when the PMSD left the ruling government.[6]
At the 2019 general elections, he was not reelected. In July 2024, as part of a new deal between the PMSD and the ruling government, he was nominated as Speaker of National Assembly of Mauritius soon after Sooroojdev Phokeer's resignation.[7]
On the 21st of September 2022, he was involved in a car accident with another vehicle, resulting in bodily harm for the other driver and is currently being prosecuted for driving under influence and refusal to submit to toxicological tests. On the site of the accident, he notoriously lied to the officers claiming he was a passenger and not driving before later retracting his statement.[8]
