Mauritius election 2024: Amid wiretapping scandal, what’s at stake?
Al JazeeraSome one million eligible voters in the Indian Ocean Mauritius will head out to vote on Sunday amid an explosive scandal that has implicated government figures in a covert wiretapping operation. Jugnauth’s greatest legacy will perhaps be his government’s success in wresting the Chagos Islands back from the UK, which took over the island as a condition for Mauritian independence and displaced Indigenous Chagossians. Navin Ramgoolam – Labour Party/Alliance for Change Ramgoolam heads the Labour Party, the oldest political party in Mauritius, and presently, the official opposition in parliament with 13 seats. Labour is allying with one-time Prime Minister Paul Berenger’s influential Mauritian Militant Movement and a few others under the umbrella of Alliance for Change. He has promised to enact laws specifically criminalising wiretapping if his alliance wins, although Ramgoolam has been accused by some as the instigator of state-sanctioned wire-taps: One of the leaked recordings appears to date back to 1995 when he was prime minister.
