The Message Is Clear: ‘India Out,’ Says Opposition

In the first round of Maldives presidential elections, PNC candidate Dr. Mohamed Muizzu took an unexpected lead over incumbent President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. PNC leader Abdul Raheem said the results conveyed a message of 'India Out,' referring to the opposition campaign against Indian military presence. Muizzu's coalition, PPM/PNC, had campaigned on national sovereignty. Solih, who advocated an 'India First' policy, finished six points behind. An alleged leaked document about land lease to India was dismissed as fraudulent by both governments. A run-off is expected, with 20% voter absence.
