MDP’s presidency concluded with manifesto neglect, no basis for support in upcoming parliament elections: Nasheed
Former President Mohamed Nasheed delivered a scathing critique of the Maldivian Democratic Party's (MDP) presidency, citing manifesto neglect and unfulfilled pledges as grounds for withholding support in the upcoming parliament elections.
Speaking at a campaign rally for The Democrats, Nasheed underscored the failure to address housing issues, a key component of the manifesto, during MDP's tenure.
Resolving housing issues was a part of the manifesto, but the public was deceived in the name of resolving housing issues,
Nasheed lamented
highlighting the absence of comprehensive housing initiatives beyond the "Veshi Fahi Male’" program outlined in the manifesto.
That program was not implemented,
He emphasized
Nasheed expressed disappointment with the limited progress made in addressing the housing crisis during Solih's presidency.
It’s been 5, 6, 7 years, and apart from the places built during MDP’s first presidency, we have seen little additional progress,
He noted
Furthermore, Nasheed criticized the failure to capitalize on transportation and tax initiatives established during his tenure in 2008.
Even as the presidency concluded, the public did not reap the benefits of these initiatives
he lamented
Highlighting MDP's majority status during Solih's presidency, Nasheed questioned the party's commitment to its manifesto.
He asserted that Despite having a supermajority, MDP neglected the manifesto.
Nasheed's remarks underscore a growing disillusionment with MDP's governance and signal a shift in political dynamics as the parliament elections approach.
