Terrence Campbell, a member of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), has faced intense backlash after sharing a derogatory article on social media that targeted Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Priya Manickchand. The post, which included a paragraph from an opposition-aligned blog, was widely condemned as a personal attack that crossed the line into body shaming.
Manickchand responded by taking aim at Campbell’s leadership style, suggesting that it was vain and idiotic. She also pointed out that her own colleagues in APNU had enabled such attacks on social media.
The incident has highlighted the challenges faced by women in politics, particularly when it comes to being judged based on appearance rather than policy. Manickchand’s comments have sparked a wider conversation about sexism and personal attacks in politics, and the need for leaders to maintain a higher level of decorum.
