MP Faisal Naseem, newly appointed running mate of the opposition coalition, has joined presidential candidate Ibrahim Mohamed Solih ‘Ibu’ on the campaign trail.
Accompanied by MP Ali Hussain, who lost to him by one vote in the Jumhooree Party council’s secret ballot Friday night, Naseem flew to Addu City on Saturday morning to join Ibu in door-to-door visits.
Speaking to reporters at the airport, Naseem expressed confidence of winning a strong majority from the southernmost atoll, adding that he has family in the second city.
“We can’t succeed in anything without the people of Addu,” he said.
