PNC secures 5 seats in cities, while MDP claims 46

Provisional results of the local council elections show the opposition MDP securing a landslide victory, winning the mayoralties of all five cities and a significant majority of council seats. While the MDP dominated in Male', Addu, and Kulhudhuffushi, the ruling PNC managed to secure only five seats across all cities. Notably, the government failed to win a single seat in Fuvahmulah City, as mayors in every city were elected with more than 50 percent of the total vote.
