Maldives voters handed President Mohamed Muizzu's party a landslide win at parliamentary elections, local media said on Monday, an outcome set to shift the Indian Ocean archipelago closer to China and away from traditional partner India. Muizzu's People's National Congress had crossed the majority mark in the Sunday polls, according to Maldives Election Commission, while the main opposition Maldives Democratic Party, a pro-India political party dwindled to just 12 seats from earlier 65. Both Beijing and New Delhi have wooed the Maldives as they vie for influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Elected last year, Muizzu has pledged to end the country's "India First" policy, straining ties with New Delhi. His government has asked dozens of Indian military personnel to leave Maldives, a move critics say could hasten its shift towards China.
