Both India and China are keeping a watchful eye on this election in Maldives. The outcome of this election may tell how much influence the country will have in the future, which has a strategic position in the Indian Ocean.

While India’s control over the Maldives has long been fairly one-sided, the equation has been changing ever since the election of Mohammad Muijju in September last year’s presidential election. Muijju made his anti-India stance clear during the election campaign.

The two main parties in the country are the Muizzur People’s National Congress (PNC) and the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) led by former President Mohamed Ibrahim Salih. Although President Muizju, the current parliament is dominated by the MDP.
