Muizzu Questions Veracity of Leaked Audio, Video Clips
PPM/PNC presidential candidate Mohamed Muizzu dismissed leaked audio and video clips, including one in which a man believed to be him says former President Abdulla Yameen will not be released under a Muizzu administration, as fake and part of an extreme anti-campaign. Speaking ahead of the 30 September run-off against incumbent President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, Muizzu pledged to bring Yameen home on his first day in office if elected.
