President Muizzu warns opposition against “disruptive conduct” after election losses

President Dr Mohamed Muizzu accused elements within the opposition of engaging in disruptive conduct after their losses in key local council elections. He urged political actors to demonstrate responsibility and respect for public expectations. Addressing supporters after the ruling People's National Congress secured victories in traditional opposition strongholds such as Rasdhoo, Ukulhas, and Thoddoo, President Muizzu said some newly elected opposition figures had already begun 'creating unrest' and using inappropriate rhetoric. He stressed that such behaviour does not reflect the voters' mandate. Despite criticism, he reaffirmed cooperation with all councils regardless of political affiliation and pledged equitable development. He also signalled a more transparent approach, stating he would publicly address instances where councils obstruct service delivery.
