President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu declared that his endorsement in the upcoming Local Council and Women's Development Committee elections goes only to PNC ticket candidates, rejecting claims that he backs the MDP candidate in Hulhumalé South. The clarification came during an MMTV interview after a door-to-door campaign across Hulhumalé South, following sweeps of all districts in Malé and Villimalé.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
In the upcoming council elections, the candidates I support will be those contesting on the PNC ticket.
The claim that I support the MDP candidate for this constituency is an absolute falsehood. My support lies solely with our candidate—the PNC candidate.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
