Answer
the ruling political party
Reason — The Vernacular Press Act aimed to control the press by forbidding vernacular newspapers from publishing material that could incite dissatisfaction against the British Government. Similarly, in country X, such a law would suppress critical reporting, keeping the public unaware of the ruling party's wrongdoings. Therefore, the ruling political party is most likely to benefit.
