President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has formally accepted the results of Saturday’s Local Council and Women’s Development Committee (WDC) elections, as well as the nationwide referendum, emphasizing respect for the outcomes and congratulating successful candidates.
In a post shared on the social media platform X, the President reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that the government aligns its policies and actions with the will and sentiments of the Maldivian people. He wrote,
I accept the results of today’s Local Council and Women’s Development Committee elections, as well as the public referendum, with full respect. I also extend my congratulations to all the successful candidates. With the grace of Almighty Allah, the government will undertake all necessary efforts to address areas requiring improvement, in accordance with the will of the people
He wrote
Preliminary results from the polls indicated that the public referendum did not reflect the government’s proposed stance.
In addition, the ruling party experienced setbacks in several key city mayoral races, while overall council seats appear to be relatively evenly divided between the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and the ruling People’s National Congress (PNC).
