Holding two elections together will ensure fairer representation: President

Holding two elections together will ensure fairer representation: President

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu stated that holding Presidential and Parliamentary elections on the same day would ensure fairer representation for political parties. Speaking on Sangu TV's 'Espresso with Raees', he said synchronizing the elections would address political imbalances. The Elections Commission is preparing a referendum on the issue, scheduled for Saturday alongside local council and Women's Development Committee elections. Muizzu noted that governments often face parliamentary obstruction, and the six-month gap between elections delays their work. He argued that simultaneous elections would allow new administrations to begin work immediately.
