In 1907 the Action Libérale was founded by Eugène Laurent, Edouard Nairac and Anatole de Boucherville.
[1] The main objective of Action Libérale was to oppose the Oligarchy's Parti de L'Ordre which represented the conservative white Franco-Mauritian establishment led by Sir Henri Leclezio.
[2] Soon after its formation the trader Goolam Mamode Issac joined the newly formed Action Libérale, thus broadening the party's appeal to the larger Indo-Mauritian community.
They defeated the oligarchs of Parti de L'Ordre Sir William Newton and Victor Ducasse in the Port Louis constituency.
At Rivière du Rempart candidate René Mérandon of Action Libérale was defeated by Louis Souchon.
