Rozaina is destroying this government: MP Shiyan
MDP MP from Thoddhoo constituency Hassan Shiyan has stated that MP from Addu Meedhoo constituency and President of MDP's Women's Spirit Rozaina Adam is destroying this government.
He stated that this during a series of tweets during a time when the ruling party is facing massive division amongst members.
Shiyan claimed that "Dhon Adhan's child" Rozaina Adam and MDP were responsible for the downfall of President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's administration. He was referring to MP Mohamed Nashiz from Kinbidhoo constituency. He then denounced the government by saying that had been unfair four years of government.
The reason why MDP enjoys a super majority in parliament is due to close ties with the people, Party's support base in this government is because of the people close to the President.
said Shiyan
Although Shiyan made this statement, there has been considerable dissension inside the MDP ever since the government took office. Rozaina has been vigorously advocating for the government and speaking out. However, Shiyan belongs to faction is a member of the party's anti-government section.
The formation of two groups inside the ruling party has resulted in the disagreements between President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, MDP President and Speaker of the Parliament Mohamed Nasheed, and the parliamentarians who support them.
Initially, there were differences within the party as Nasheed's efforts to turn the country's governance system into a parliamentary one did not get support from within the government.
However, it appears that there is a lot of tension within the party now over the party's presidential primaries scheduled to be held early next year. Both President Solih and Nasheed have announced that they will be entering the presidential race.
