President Muizzu Sets October Congress as Turning Point for PNC’s Future

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced that the People's National Congress (PNC) national congress, scheduled for October, will be a turning point to strengthen internal democracy and prepare for future elections. Speaking at a victory gathering in AA. Rasdhoo after the party's sweep in council elections in traditionally opposition strongholds—Rasdhoo, Ukulhas, and Thoddoo—the President framed the congress as necessary to consolidate gains while addressing setbacks, including a failed referendum on synchronizing elections. He urged party members nationwide to elect island-level steering committees and leadership structures, aiming to set a new benchmark for transparency and fairness. The PNC secured a strong majority across councils and Women's Development Committees nationwide, but faced resistance.
