Adhaalath to contest in 2013 Maldives presidential election

MALE, May 21 (HNS) – Religious conservative Adhaalath Party has announced its plan to contest in the 2013 presidential election.

Speaking at the meeting held last night in Kalaafanu School, head of the Scholar’s Council, Sheikh Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed said Adhalath is capable of running the country more efficiently than any other party under an Islamic leadership.

“We’re asking our members to barge into the big picture, and we will try to strengthen the party for what’s to come,” he said.

The former State Minister for Islamic Affairs said the party, which he said has the competence and philosophy, has to win the presidential election and work in a new way.

Adhalath Party is currently preparing for its internal elections to elect the party’s President and Vice President.

Sheikh Imran Abdulla, who is contesting for the President’s post of the party, blamed the failure of the government to address current issues and the creation of too many political posts for the ailing economy.

Imran further noted that the party held a meeting with Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) this week and learned that the national reserve had money that would only last for three months. It’s a possibility that the general population might starve afterwards, he added.

Members who spoke at the meeting heavily criticised the government and alleged that the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) is bribing MPs into joining the party.
