Small island nation Mauritius prepares for crucial weekend vote
Mauritius voters head to polls this Sunday as Prime Minister seeks re-election. This Indian Ocean nation stands-out with its stable democracy and well-rounded economy
The Indian Ocean nation Mauritius gets ready for its national vote this sunday (a rare chance to shape its future). Located roughly 2000km from Africaʼs eastern shores this small-but-mighty country plans another step in its democratic journey
The current head-of-government Pravind Jugnauth aims to secure his second term leading this island-state‚ which became self-governing back in the late 60s after breaking away from British rule. Since then Mauritius evolved into one of Africaʼs most well-run democracies — a fact thats widely recognized across the globe
The nationʼs path to success relies on its multi-layered economy: finance-sector growth tourism development and farm-based industries all work hand-in-hand to keep things running smoothly; these sectors helped transform this far-flung island into a notable economic player in the region (something quite rare for such a remote location)
