@tobiaS3th While we , the @umarnaseermv campaign, are not against FDI's and commercial devlpmnts,
PNC's unwilligness to excercise transparency, their quick inclination to change laws by exploiting majlis majority and many instances of organised corruption,

Under my administration, there will be sweeping reforms to the political party system. Among other measures, state funding for political parties - currently about MVR 30 million per year - will be abolished. These funds will instead be redirected toward research and development.
Political parties in the Maldives have reached their Sunset Stage and have nothing new to offer. SriLankans made the right decision in 2024 by choosing a completely new direction for their country, and Nepal has recently done the same.
Thank goodness the UK Gov has shelved its plan to hand Chagos to Mauritius. The Maldives has a far greater claim to the islands: we share historical ties, our language (Dhivehi) is inscribed on gravestones in Chagos, there’s a 16th century Royal patent, we have oral traditions and geographical proximity.
