[1/2] People arrive to cast their vote at a polling station during the second round of a presidential election in Male, Maldives September 30, 2023. REUTERS/Dhahau Naseem Acquire Licensing RightsMALE, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Voters lined up at hundreds of polling stations in the Maldives on Saturday in a run-off election for president of the Indian Ocean archipelago that pits the incumbent India-leaning leader against a strong pro-China contender. Opposition candidate Mohamed Muizzu led President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in the first round three weeks ago by 6 percentage points. Thousands turned out early at over 586 polling stations across 187 islands known for their sun-kissed beaches and resorts. Maldivians were also voting at polling stations in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Britain and Abu Dhabi.

A Maldives national flag flutters as pigeons fly past during the morning in Male February 8, 2012. "August’s poll reveals a majority of voters, 53%, remain undecided just three weeks before the first round vote on 9 September. This month’s poll has seen the most ‘undecideds’ since Baani began its monthly poll in April," the organisation said in a statement. If no candidate manages to secure 50% plus one vote, there will be a second round vote on Sept. 30 to decide the winner.

REUTERS/Alasdair Pal/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsMALE, Sept 6 (Reuters) - A presidential election in the Maldives on Saturday could be decisive in determining whether China or India win a competition for influence over the tiny Indian Ocean island chain. While India has longstanding cultural, financial and security ties with the Maldives, China has in recent years invested in infrastructure projects as it builds closer ties and pursues its Belt and Road vision of transport and energy networks. India, which denies that, is helping to build a naval harbour for Maldivian forces, who will be trained by the Indian military.
