The snap election on November 10 dealt another blow to incumbents in Africa. Former Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam and his Alliance for Change coalition won 61.3% of the vote, toppling Prime Minister Pravin Jugnauth and the Alliance Lepep coalition, who garnered only 27.2% support. Mr Jugnauth conceded defeat a day before the final results were confirmed and resigned on November 12. The change in government has not fundamentally altered our macroeconomic outlook, given Mr Ramgoolam's steady leadership during his previous tenures in charge of the island economy.
