Mauritius’ Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth announced on Monday that his political alliance, “L’Alliance Lepep”, is set to face a significant defeat following Sunday’s parliamentary election.
Speaking to reporters, Jugnauth said, “L’Alliance Lepep is heading towards a huge defeat. I have tried to do what I can for the country and the population. The population has decided to choose another team. I wish good luck to the country.”
The election saw voters selecting lawmakers to fill 62 parliamentary seats for a five-year term, from a pool of 68 parties and five political alliances. The party or coalition securing more than half the seats will also take the prime minister’s position.
