Concerns Raised Over Instrumentalisation of State Resources in Election Campaigning Amid PPM-PNC Discord

Internal discord in the PPM/PNC coalition over alleged instrumentalisation of state resources for campaign purposes ahead of the parliamentary elections. Allegations claim President Muizzu favours independent candidate Ahmed Riyaz in Thimarafushi over official PNC nominee Ibrahim Sanah. Ministers Adam Rameez and Abdulla Naseer were seen supporting Riyaz. In Gaddhoo, ministers are accused of campaigning for independent candidate Mohamed Ali, relative of Education Minister Ismail Shafeeu, instead of PNC nominee Mahmood Shafeeg. Critics argue this compromises democratic principles. The EU observer mission had earlier urged restraint.
