2024 Mauritian general election

General elections were held in Mauritius on 10 November 2024. The election was called after the government reached a deal with the United Kingdom to end the Chagos Archipelago dispute. Shortly before the election, a wire-tapping scandal surfaced. The government responded by implementing a social media ban that was to last until after the election but was instead lifted a day later following public outcry. Pravind Jugnauth became prime minister in 2017, succeeding his father Anerood Jugnauth. Alliances that contested the election included Jugnauth's Alliance Lepep, which comprised the Militant Socialist Movement (MSM), Muvman Liberater (ML), Muvman Patriot Morisien, Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate (PMSD) and Plateforme Militante. Alliance du Changement, led by Navin Ramgoolam, comprised the Labour Party, former Prime Minister Paul Bérenger's Mauritian Militant Movement (MMM), the New Democrats and Rezistans ek Alternativ. Key campaign issues included the cost of living, crime and corruption. A total of 1,002,857 registered voters were eligible to vote.

Votes were counted on 11 November, with turnout at 79%, the highest since 2010. Alliance du Changement won the election in a landslide, winning all but one of the country's 21 constituencies. Jugnauth conceded defeat shortly after vote counting began. It was the largest margin of victory since 1995. Four unsuccessful candidates were appointed through the Best Loser System, including two from Alliance Lepep and two from Alliance Liberation. Due to the plurality block voting system with panachage, total votes exceed the total number of registered electors. Ramgoolam was sworn in as prime minister on 13 November, and his cabinet was inaugurated on 22 November.
