Politics of Mauritius Political parties Elections

The Militant Socialist Movement (French: Mouvement Socialiste Militant, MSM) is a centre-left political party in Mauritius. It was the single largest political party in the National Assembly of Mauritius, having won 42 of the 69 seats in the 2019 general elections; however, following the 2024 election, it only possesses one seat. It also holds the largest number of seats in all city/town councils through the country with 60 councillors out of 120. The party tends to be more popular amongst Indo-Mauritians.

The MSM is one of the 4 main political parties in the country; the others being the Labour Party or Parti Travailliste (PTr), Mouvement Militant Mauricien (MMM) and Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate (PMSD). The MSM is the only political party in the history of Mauritius to be formed when its office holders were in government, in sharp contrast to all other parties which were either founded in opposition or before acceding to power.^[1][2]
