Election Commissioner Arun Goyal becomes observer in Maldives presidential elections, important for China and India
EC: The Election Commission of India informed that the first round of elections was held on 9 September 2023. International observers from other countries and organizations also participated in the election observation programme.
Presidential elections are taking place in Maldives. This is very important for India and China. On the invitation of the Election Commission of Maldives, a three-member delegation led by Election Commissioner Arun Goyal has gone there as observers in the ongoing presidential elections in Maldives.
The Election Commission of India gave information. Said that international observers from other countries and organizations also participated in the election observation program. Let us tell you, the first phase of voting for the post of President was held in Maldives on Saturday, but if no one got a majority in it, now voting will be held on September 30 to select between the first two candidates getting the most votes.
Actually, President Ibrahim Mohammad Solih is considered pro-India. He is contesting for the second term. At the same time, his main opposition candidate Mohammad Muiz's party 'People's National Congress' is considered pro-China. Therefore, despite the G20 conference in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will definitely be worried about the results of these elections. Even though Chinese President Xi Jinping has not come to India, he will also be interested to know who will become the President of the country.
The results of these elections are going to affect both India and China. If President Ibrahim Mohammad Solih wins then China will be troubled and if pro-China Mohammad Muiz wins then troubles will increase for India. Muijs is pro-China and his victory will affect India's presence in the Indian Ocean.
