In Maldives, President Mohamed Muizzu's party, the People's National Congress (PNC), clinched a resounding victory in the parliamentary elections. With 66 out of 86 seats, they now wield significant power in the parliament, granting Muizzu leverage to promote his pro-China stance. This outcome alarms India, as Muizzu's presidency has leaned away from New Delhi since his election last year. The PNC's overwhelming win paves the way for policies that may strengthen ties with China, potentially sidelining India's influence in the region.
