Election Analysis and Data

First of all I just want to say its a relief that the election went smoothly as it did.

The data I am using is the preliminary results from the election office website. Maumoon got 82,121 votes which was 45.79 %, Anni got 97,222 votes which comes to 54.21% of the total votes.

Total number of voters were 181,202 which is 86.58% of the eligible voters.

Naturally Maumoon came strong in the atolls, but unlike last time Anni regained in the ballot boxes in Male'. He won all the boxes in Male' except for Kaafu Atoll and Laamu Atoll. If we look at the results regionally, we see that Maumoon won 9 regions (Shaviyani, Raa, Lhaviyani, Kaafu, Vaavu, Meemu, Faafu, Dhaalu and Laamu). And Anni won 16 regions (Haa Alifu, Haa Dhaalu, Noonu, Baa, Alifu Alifu, Alifu Dhaalu, Thaa, Gaafu Alifu, Gaafu Dhaalu, Gnyaviyani, Seenu, Resort Islands, Overseas votes, Industrial Island, Jail votes, and Male'). The following graph shows these in details.

It was a close call in Haa Dhaalu, Noonu, Dhaalu and Thaa. The winner got less than 5% difference in these regions. From the results it seems that Maumoon's strongholds are Raa, Kaafu, Vaavu Meemu and Laamu. Anni's strongholds are Alifu Alifu, Alifu Dhaalu, Seenu, the resorts, Overseas votes, Jail votes and Male' votes. They both got more than 10% in these regions
