Maldives votes in runoff elections on September 30 after neither candidate could reach the 50% vote mark in the first round. Incumbent President Ibrahim Solih holds a district pro-India stand. His primary opponent Mohammed Muizzi is against the India tilt and has a strong pro-China leaning. This election will be about India and China jostling for influence in the Indian Ocean nation that lies on a key trading route.
