Navin Ramgoolam Returns as Mauritius PM After Landslide Election Win

The opposition coalition led by Ramgoolam secured all parliamentary seats amid a wiretapping scandal and social media ban controversy.

Navin Ramgoolam's Alliance of Change won 62.6% of the vote, securing 60 out of 62 parliamentary seats in Mauritius.
Incumbent Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth conceded defeat, acknowledging his coalition's heavy losses in the election.
The election was marred by a wiretapping scandal, with leaked recordings leading to a temporary social media ban by the government.
Ramgoolam, who previously served as prime minister twice, plans to dismantle the country's surveillance system to ensure freedom of speech.
The new administration aims to address economic challenges, including cost-of-living issues, and to implement constitutional and electoral reforms.
