JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The government of Mauritius on Friday banned access to social media websites ahead of parliamentary elections on Nov. 10 in which Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth is seeking a second term in power.

The directive was announced by the national communications regulator, which said social media sites will be banned until Nov. 11, the day after the election.
