Municipal Elections: A Year Later, the 'Outsider' Elected Officials Between Hope and Disillusionment

Elected on May 4, 2025, in the wake of the Alliance of Change wave, three dissenting voices present an initial assessment marked by financial constraints, political frustrations, and an unwavering commitment to serve.

One year after the municipal elections of 2025, the contrast remains striking. This vote saw the Alliance of Change overwhelmingly dominate with 117 seats won across five cities in the country — Port Louis, Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill, Vacoas/Phoenix, Curepipe, and Quatre Bornes.
