Solih Calls for Probe Into Muizzu Admin’s Campaign Spending; Criticises Suspension of Projects in Addu

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, speaking at an MDP campaign rally in Hithadhoo, Addu City on Thursday, 11 April 2024, called for an investigation into state spending on the Muizzu administration's parliamentary campaigning and criticised the halting of MDP-initiated development projects in Addu. MDP parliamentary campaign spokesperson Ahmed Easa alleged that at least MVR 100 million of the state budget was spent on campaigning for government-aligned candidates, and said the Anti-Corruption Commission and Parliament should look into the matter.
