The L'Alliance de L'avenir (French: Alliance of the Future) was a political alliance in Mauritius which was formed in 2010 for the next parliamentary elections which were held on 5 May 2010. It is an alliance of the Labour Party, Mouvement Socialiste Militant and Parti Mauricien Social Démocrate. It was formed by the prime minister Dr. Navin Ramgoolam and is led by three other people, namely Rashid Beebeejaun, Xavier-Luc Duval and Pravind Jugnauth.
The party alliance won the general elections held on 5 May 2010 and is the majority alliance and forms the government of Mauritius, where the largest party is the Labour Party, with 27 MPs in all and headed by Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam and is followed by the Militant Socialist Movement with 14 MPs and is headed by Pravind Jugnauth who became Vice Prime Minister following the alliance.
The Mauritian Social Democrat Party has 4 MPs and the leader Xavier-Luc Duval is also Vice Prime Minister. The party has been kept for ethnic representation as alone the labour and MSM have absolute majority by 41 seats on 69. The Labour Party is an aristocratic movement headed by mostly Hindus and the MSM is a Vaish dominant party which competes for the Hindu vote. Having two parties with Hindu majority was not perceived as representing the whole population and ethnic minorities. The Social Democrats, which is a Christian majority party, has therefore paved its way to form part of the government.
