Maldives Election Result 2024: Mohammed Muizzu’s party PNC has got a big victory in the parliamentary elections of Maldives, while the opposition party MDP has been disappointed. In such a situation, it is believed that once again the people of Maldives have liked the anti-India Muizzu. PNC has got 66 seats in the 93-seat Maldives Parliament, while Muizzu’s party had to face a crushing defeat in the recent mayoral elections held in Male.
Actually, voting for the 20th People’s Majlis took place from 8 am to 5:30 pm local time on Sunday. Voting was held on a total of 93 seats, out of which Muizzu’s party People’s National Congress won 66 seats. PNC had contested a total of 90 seats, while the main opposition party Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) had to be content with 12 seats. In such a situation, PNC has now captured the Parliament of Maldives. Independent candidates have won 8 seats, the remaining seats have been captured by other small parties.
MDP’s majority in Parliament ends
Last year, Mohammed Muizzu became the President of Maldives by defeating Mohammed Solih, but PNC did not have majority in the Parliament of Maldives. Due to lack of majority in Parliament, Muizzu was not able to make major changes in Maldives. Before the elections, Muizzu had appealed to the people of the country to get majority in the Parliament of Maldives. Mohammad Muizzu is seen as a pro-China leader. In such a situation, Muizzu wants to make big changes in Maldives, which has now become easy for him. Also now MDP’s majority in Parliament has ended. Parliamentary elections in Maldives are held for five years, while presidential elections are held separately.
India-Maldives relations will be adversely affected
The worst impact of this election is going to be on the relations between Maldives and India, because after Muizzu became the President, the relations between India and Maldives are already going bad. Now after capturing the Parliament, China will get big opportunities in Maldives. According to media reports, China wants to build a military base in Maldives. Recently many secret agreements have been signed between Maldives and China. China has talked about providing free military assistance to Maldives.
