Mauritius Election Up in the Air Amid Spying Scandal
Mauritius, known for its stable democracy, faces an uncertain election outcome following a significant spying scandal. Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth, initially expected to win, is now under pressure after anonymous leaks exposed high-level conversations from various sectors. In response, Jugnauth temporarily shut down social media, igniting public outrage and opposition hopes for a strong protest movement. The opposition’s Navin Ramgoolam aims to restore the nation’s reputation, while Jugnauth promises financial incentives to win voter loyalty. The scandal has shaken public trust in the government, making election results unpredictable.
