Opposition Coalition Wins Landslide in Mauritius

In a significant political shift, Mauritius' opposition coalition, led by Navin Ramgoolam, has won all parliamentary seats in the recent elections, marking a decisive defeat for Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth's government. The results indicate a complete rejection of Jugnauth's Militant Socialist Movement, with the Prime Minister conceding defeat ahead of final tallies. Ramgoolam, a former Prime Minister, expressed hopes for Jugnauth's resignation, emphasizing the people's power over perceived dictatorship. The elections were marred by a wire-tapping scandal that raised concerns about government integrity. While official results are pending for two seats in Rodrigues, the opposition's victory signals a new chapter in Mauritius' political landscape. This election is notable as it reflects the challenges faced by Jugnauth's administration amidst corruption allegations and public discontent.
