Secretary General for the Maldivian Democratic Party(MDP) Hussein Shah said that if the Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) wins the upcoming island and atoll council election, “islanders will regret it.”
Shah accused the DRP of not wanting to “bring powers close to the people”.
”They wish everyone to be crowded in Male,” Shah said. ”Their purpose is to try and stop the government from fulfilling its pledges.”
He said the party was trying to make people understand how things would be like if DRP won the election.
