JOHANNESBURG — Mauritius’ ruling coalition is set for a “huge defeat” following Sunday’s parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth told reporters Monday, acknowledging the rejection of his Militant Socialist Movement even as vote-counting continued.
Jugnauth, in office since 2017, had been seeking another five-year term in the Indian Ocean island nation, but his government faced corruption allegations after recordings of politicians and business people were leaked online.
The Alliance for Change coalition, led by former prime minister Navin Ramgoolam, appeared poised for victory. They had no immediate comment.
“The population has decided to choose another team. I wish good luck to the country,” Jugnauth said.
