President Promises Not to Discriminate Based on Political Ideology

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has said that he will not discriminate against any citizen regardless of political opinion.
Speaking at a rally at the Artificial Beach last night to celebrate the Congress coalition’s comprehensive victory in yesterday’s parliamentary elections, the President said all citizens were equal before him and he would not discriminate on the basis of their political affiliation.
In my eyes, as I said the other day, every citizen is equal. Whatever party one belongs to, they remain an important citizen. I have love and respect for each of individual. So I will not discriminate against anyone. There will be no action against anyone because of their political views.
President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu
The President congratulated all the PNC candidates who won the parliamentary elections, as well as all the candidates endorsed by the PNC.

The people have shown what they want with the election results and the President assured them that the work will continue at the pace they want. He said he would work harder than in the past 5 months and his cabinet should work just as hard.

The welcoming rally was attended by the President, Vice President Hussain Mohamed Latheef, government ministers and Congress coalition officials. The celebration was attended by a large number of PNC supporters.

66 of the candidates who contested the parliamentary elections on a PNC ticket won their seat. Other candidates who were endorsed by PNC also won eight more seats. Colonel (retd.) Mohamed Nazim, who contested on the MNP ticket, Qasim Ibrahim, who contested on the JP ticket, two candidates from MDA, as well as four independent candidates won the seat with the endorsement of the government.

The government won a supermajority in the parliament, while the MDP, which had a supermajority in the outgoing term, won only 12 seats.
