MP for Dhaandhoo Yaugoob Abdulla said he was offered monetary inducement to leave the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) for the ruling People's National Congress (PNC), as 14 MDP MPs crossed the floor to join PNC. Abdulla said the offers were bribes and that he refused to be induced in that manner.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The offer came to me. The offer was not to join the PNC for the sake of the country. The offer came as monetary inducement. Money is a bribe. Offers of bribery came. I told them I cannot be induced away in that manner
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
Abdulla's comments came as 14 MDP MPs crossed the floor to join PNC; some of whom who had been extremely critical of the Mohamed Muizzu administration even in the recent past.
