Election showed what needs to be done, path to take: Shiyam

Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources and Vice President of the People's National Congress (PNC) Ahmed Shiyam stated that the recent local council election, women's development committee election, and referendum indicated the path forward. The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) won most seats and secured mayoral posts in five cities, while 70% of referendum votes opposed holding presidential and parliamentary elections on the same day. Shiyam called for deep reflection and described the election as an opportunity for change. He noted that President Mohamed Muizzu assured that the government will implement positive changes according to the people's will.
