President Muizzu accepts election results, vows to learn from setbacks
President Mohamed Muizzu has acknowledged that the recent elections delivered a mix of victories and setbacks, affirming his commitment to accept the results and move forward.
Speaking at a ceremony celebrating the People’s National Congress (PNC)’s wins in the local council and Women’s Development Committee (WDC) by-elections in Rasdhoo, Ukulhas, and Thoddoo, the President said the moment presents an opportunity to further strengthen the party’s foundations.
Emphasising the importance of honesty in public service, President said leaders must accept outcomes with sincerity and confront challenges directly.
He stressed that he would not deny realities or make unfounded claims to deflect from the results.
Reflecting on the outcome, the President said the party experienced both success and failure, adding that these results would serve as lessons moving forward.
We achieved significant victories in this constituency and several others. However, we also faced substantial setbacks. Therefore, I fully accept the people's decision in this election, which includes both success and failure. I assure you that we will learn from these failures and, God willing, do everything necessary to address and rectify the concerns expressed by the citizens.
He stated
President reaffirmed that the government will remain committed to delivering on its pledges regardless of the election outcome, while calling for continued public support.
He also addressed the unsuccessful vote on holding two elections on the same day, noting that the outcome was influenced by several factors, including the party’s inability to clearly communicate the issue to the public.
He described this as a valuable lesson.
The President concluded by underscoring the importance of building on successes while addressing shortcomings, maintaining a forward-looking approach to governance.
