Opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP)’s elected Vice President, Feydhoo constituency MP Alhan Fahmy has said that the political unrest in the country can only be resolved when the former Presidents, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom and Mohamed Nasheed retire from politics.
Speaking to the Press at DhiTV, Alhan said that the country is suffering from its current political tensions because of the two former Presidents. He said that MDP can only be liberated when Nasheed retires and likewise PPM can only be liberated by Gayoom retiring from politics.
Stressing on this, Alhan said that he will to whatever is in his capability to free the political arena of the country from the clutches of former President Gayoom and former President Nasheed.
He said that it is saddening that some political leaders take advantage of the people to save their own face. In addition to this he said that he is considering resigning from MDP membership.
He has said that he has not been invited to any activities of the MDP after he was removed from the Vice Presidency by the National Committee of the party.
“I do not accept that those who have hijacked MDP are using the people to save their own faces. They have abandoned me and boycotted me from all the activities of the party. This suggests that they want to remove me even from the party’s membership. So I am considering it now,” he said.
