Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu’s party has won Sunday’s election in a landslide, according to preliminary results.

The People’s National Congress (PNC) won 70 out of 93 seats to take full control of parliament, local media reports said early on Monday. The outcome is likely to accelerate the country’s shift away from traditional ally India in favour of China.
