Navin Ramgoolam was sworn in as prime minister for his fourth term.
His Alliance du Changement (ADC) coalition won a landslide 60 of the 62 national assembly seats with 62.6% of votes.
Ramgoolam took the oath of office during a brief ceremony at State House.
Ramgoolam launched a program in 2006 to cut bureaucracy and simplify taxes to diversify the $10 billion economy from tourism, textiles, and sugar exports.
The outgoing Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth’s popularity had decreased due to the cost of living crisis and corruption allegations.
Pravind Kumar Jugnauth succeeded his father, Aneerood Jugnauth, in 2017. He again became Prime Minister in 2019.
