Harish Boodhoo became Deputy Prime Minister in the MMM-PSM government led by Prime Minister Aneerood Jugnauth.[4] Within a few months of the elections there was disagreement within the ruling MMM-PSM coalition. Military intervention by India, in the form of Operation Lal Dora, had also nearly occurred as Finance Minister Paul Bérenger undermined his leader Anerood Jugnauth and Deputy PM Harish Boodhoo.

Bérenger was even suspected to be preparing to overthrow PM Jugnauth.[5][6] These led to the departure of Anerood Jugnauth and other elected members from MMM as he formed a new party MSM. By May Harish Boodhoo had dissolved his party PSM to enable all PSM parliamentarians to merge into the Jugnauth's new party MSM, thus enabling them to remain in power whilst distancing themselves from Paul Bérenger and his party MMM.[7]
