Electioneering Mauritius-style

Bunting from the recent Mauritian general election was still visible all over the island during my visit last week. This unusual means of campaigning made some villages look like they were celebrating a fete or a wedding. This house is decked out in the colours of the victorious Alliance Sociale, led by Dr. Navin Ramgoolam. L'AS beat the incumbent MSM/MMM coalition by 38 seats to 22, the fourth consecutive election in which the government has been defeated.
