MALE - Maldives President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s party is heading for a historic landslide victory in parliamentary elections, provisional results showed, a move that will help him to investigate the scale of debts to China.
The Indian Ocean archipelago has been caught in a battle for influence between India and China, which invested millions of dollars during Yameen’s rule as part of its Belt and Road plan. According to the current projections, the MDP could take a near two-thirds majority in parliament, the first time a party has had such a majority since the first multi-party elections in 2008.
Addressing the supporters at the victory rally, President Solih reiterated his zero tolerance policy for corruption. “The work of the commission investigating unresolved deaths and enforced disappearances will go ahead more quickly with the support of this parliament.”
