Maldives' President Mohamed Muizzu casts his ballot during the country's parliamentary election, in Male on April 21, 2024. The Maldives votes in a parliamentary election likely to test Muizzu's tilt towards China and away from India, the luxury tourism hotspot's traditional benefactor. Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu's ruling pro-China party cemented its grip on power in a landslide election victory, according to preliminary results reported by local media. The outcome is widely expected to accelerate the Indian Ocean archipelago's shift toward China and away from its traditional ally of India. Muizzu's People's National Congress won 65 out of 93 parliamentary seats in Sunday's vote, Reuters reported, citing media projections and preliminary results from the Maldives Elections Commission.

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.
