Mauritius is set to hold its general election on November 10, its President, Prithvirajsing Roopunz, said on Friday.
Reuters reported that Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth had won the last election in 2019, with his Socialist Movement (MSM) securing 38 of the 62 seats in parliament.
Jugnauth first became prime minister in 2017, when his father stepped down from the post of leading the prosperous Indian Ocean country of 1.3 million people.
