Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed, speaking at a campaign rally for The Democrats party after a hiatus from politics, emphasized the importance of steering clear of Indian Ocean conflicts.

Nasheed stressed the need for Maldivians to navigate differences with courage while upholding independence and sovereignty.

At no point should Maldives align with any side in Indian Ocean conflicts. Maldivians have a long history of maintaining independence and sovereignty,

Nasheed asserted during his speech

Addressing the global climate of uncertainty and conflict, Nasheed warned of the detrimental impact on countries heavily reliant on tourism.

He highlighted the need for Maldives to safeguard its economy amidst potential regional tensions.

In closing, Nasheed underscored the pivotal role of the parliament in navigating challenging times.

Encouraging voters to carefully consider their choices, he reminded them of the parliament's crucial role in shaping responses to crises, citing the government's initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic as an example.

In times of crisis, the parliament plays a vital role. As you cast your vote, remember the parliament's role in guiding the nation through challenges, such as the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic,

Nasheed concluded
