Amazing news: my father in law was just elected vp of maldives

So, I don't know what this means...but, in the first multi party election in the history of the Maldives, the election just came in: my father in law his running mate won, 53 to 47%.

Apparently, the people have spoken. While this isn't final, as...

they have one ballot box left to count, it's over 98% of the outstanding ballots.

Any ideas what this may mean for south asia?

Not familiar with politics over there but Hey, Congratulations !! - maybe you can post an article about him and the election.

What is Maldives?
But Awesome!!

Congrats to him!

Wow - Congratulations to your father in law.

Congratulations!

omg..congrats

From the little that I know about the Maldives, the people there surely need a government that will give them a better break. So maybe a democratically elected government will do that. (I think that if I were in your shoes, I'd be more concerned about how it would affect my wife's state of mind.) Good luck to you, your family, and the people of the Maldives.

thedude, I knew you were interested in this election, but didn't know you had such a close connection. That is pretty cool.

Congrats and good luck...

WOW

that is just amazing. you are one powerful dude now =D

That is good news. How sad the world news reported in this country is so lacking.
Congrats to your father-in-law.

Yeah, congrats to your father-in-law. How exciting for your family to be a part of history!
