‘ incumbent Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth said on Monday his political alliance was headed for a major defeat to a rival coalition led by a three-time former premier following Sunday’s parliamentary election.
With a cost of living crisis uppermost in voters’ minds, Rangoolam’s alliance had said it planned to increase pensions as well as introduce free transport and internet services, and reduce fuel prices.
