In his victory speech, Mr Ramkalawan was conciliatory towards Mr Faure, saying there were no losers or winners.

In his first comments since winning, Mr Ramkalawan said:

“Mr Faure and I are good friends. And an election does not mean the end of one’s contribution to one’s motherland.

“In this election, there were no losers, there were no winners – our country was given the opportunity as the ultimate winner.”

Mr Faure was sitting close by, and nodded in approval as the incoming president spoke, according to Reuters.
