Ralph Maraj (pronounced [rɑːlpʰə məɦɑːrɑːɟə]; born 21 January 1949) is a Trinidad and Tobago politician, actor, playwright, and teacher.
Maraj also starred in the movies The Right and the Wrong (1970) and Bim (1974), described by Bruce Paddington as "one of the most important films to be produced in Trinidad and Tobago".
Later that year Maraj's sister, Occah Seapaul, Speaker of the House of Representatives, was removed from the position following a power struggle with Manning.
In the subsequent UNC administration Maraj served as Minister of Communication and Information Technology until he resigned from the party, together with Ramesh Maharaj and Trevor Sudama, late in 2001.
[3] Maraj resumed his theatre career in 2013, when his play The Saint was performed in San Fernando's Naparima Bowl.
