The former Citizens Coalition for Change deputy spokesperson, Gift Ostallos Siziba has congratulated the Alliance of Change coalition leader, Ramgoolam on his recent election victory held on Sunday.
In a post on X, the former Citizens Coalition for Change member of Parliament praised the people of Mauritius for their trust in new leadership, the Mauritius electoral process and the smooth transition of power, citing it as a strong example of effective democratic governance.
“Congratulations to @Ramgoolam_Dr and Alliance du Changement on your historic win in Mauritius’ 2024 general elections! The people of Mauritius have spoken, and your victory marks a brighter future progressive politics in Africa and the consolidation of social democratic power! Africa shall rise!,” Otsallos posted.
Mauritius’ opposition coalition has won the country’s election by a landslide, taking all seats in the country’s parliament in a major rejection of the current government.
According to results released at various constituencies across the country throughout Monday, the governing coalition led by Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth failed to get any of the 62 seats available for voters to directly decide on.
Jagnauth conceded defeat before all results were announced, saying his Militant Socialist Movement coalition was headed for a huge defeat as it became clear that the opposition was winning in all of the country’s 21 constituencies.
The Alliance for Change coalition’s win will see the return of Navin Ramgoolam as the country’s prime minister. He served as prime minister from 1995 to 2000 and again from 2005 to 2014.
