Recent campaign activities and events of the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives have been funded by the government, the joint opposition parties have alleged.
At a coalition press briefing Sunday evening, MP Imthiyaz Fahmy also accused the PPM of using civil servants and employees of independent institutions and state-owned companies to organise party activities.
“The state media is broadcasting all of this. But what they’re showing are activities by the faction of a political party’s advisor [President Abdulla Yameen’s post in the PPM],” he said.
“But they’re not showing any activity by any other political party.”
