Mohamed Muizzu emerged victorious in the Maldives' presidential election, securing a win in the second-round run-off against the incumbent Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. The election served as a crucial test for the Indian Ocean archipelago's evolving democracy and its diplomatic relations with both China and India, its traditional ally. At 45, Muizzu, leading a party associated with substantial Chinese loans and known for a crackdown on dissent during its previous tenure, will navigate the complex geopolitical dynamics shaping the nation's future.
