In this paper, we consider a class of multiobjective mathematical programming problems with equilibrium constraints on Hadamard manifolds (in short, (MMPEC)). We introduce the generalized Guignard constraint qualification for (MMPEC) and employ it to derive Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT)-type necessary optimality criteria. Further, we derive sufficient optimality criteria for (MMPEC) using geodesic convexity assumptions. The significance of the results deduced in the paper has been demonstrated by suitable non-trivial examples. The results deduced in this article generalize several well-known results in the literature to a more general space, that is, Hadamard manifolds, and extend them to a more general class of optimization problems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that generalized Guignard constraint qualification and optimality conditions have been studied for (MMPEC) in manifold settings.
