General elections were held in Mauritius on 10 December 2014 and resulted in a victory for the Alliance Lepep coalition, which secured 47 of the elected seats under the leadership of Sir Anerood Jugnauth, while the PTR–MMM alliance under Navin Ramgoolam only got 13 seats. Prime Minister Navin Rangoolam lost his own seat and accepted defeat after voters rejected his proposals to boost presidential powers. Former president and Alliance Lepep leader, 84-year-old Anerood Jugnauth became prime minister in the Indian Ocean island nation.〔 Alliance Lepep is a coalition led by the Mouvement Socialiste Militant (MSM) with other parties including the Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate (PMSD) and the Muvman Liberater (ML). ==Background== Following the victory of the Alliance de L'Avenir in the 2010 elections, Navin Ramgoolam continued to govern as prime minister. However, during the period 2010-2014, the Mouvement Socialiste Militant (MSM) and the Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate (PMSD) left the coalition and the Labour Party continued to govern alone with a thin majority. In September 2014, the leaders of the Labour Party and the Mouvement Militant Mauricien (MMM), Navin Ramgoolam and Paul Berenger, signed an agreement to enter into an electoral alliance for the next general election. The plan of this agreement vowed to push through constitutional changes giving greater power to the now-ceremonial role of president. Soon after, the MSM, the PMSD and the Muvman Liberater (a new party formed from a break-up with the MMM due to their coalition with the PTR) formed a coalition to face the PTR-MMM Alliance in the next general election. Prime Minister Ramgoolam advised the President Kailash Purryag to dissolve the National Assembly on 6 October 2014. The President announced that the elections would be held on 10 December.〔(Mauritius sets Dec. 10 date for parliamentary election ) Reuters, 7 November 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mauritian general election, 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
