First Lady Fathmath Ibrahim is planning a symposium in September to “prepare leaders” for President Abdulla Yameen’s 2018 re-election campaign.
Briefing the press on behalf of the first lady’s campaign office today, Ibrahim Muaz Ali, who is also the president’s spokesperson, stressed that the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) is not involved in organising the symposium.
However, Muaz said representatives from all of the PPM’s island branches as well as island focal points working with the first lady’s office will participate.
“The purpose of this symposium is to prepare a batch of leaders across the country for President Yameen’s 2018 campaign – people that will work to achieve the same goal. They will receive training by experts on how to work on a campaign,” Muaz said.
