Dr. Ahmed Shaheed former Foreign Minister has said that Maldives would get a new President following the presidential elections scheduled later in the year. Dr. Shaheed said that President Gayoom can choose anybody within the DRP to be his running mate in the elections and that it would not make any difference.
Speaking to Miadhu Daily Dr. Shaheed said that choosing Atolls Minister Thasmeen Ali to be the running mate would be like “cutting off the branch one is sitting on” and that the only way for President Gayoom to get any success is by choosing Finance Minister Qasim for the position. However Dr. Shaheed said it would hardly affect the election results whether President Gayoom choose Minister Qasim or Minister Thasmeen and that he was confident Maldives would get a new president after the elections.
Dr. Shaheed also said only way for President Gayoom to get any success would be to get the support of Minister Qasim.
“Choosing Thasmeen over Qasim would be a serious mistake” said Dr. Shaheed speaking via telephone from abroad.
He also said even if President Gayoom choose KD Ahmed Manik to be running mate it would hardly matter as there is simply no way President Gayoom can win this elections.
“Even if he choose KD Ahmed Manik to be his running mate it would hardly matter, this is simply not his year, this year belong to a young energetic and capable leader, this year Maldives would get a new leader” said Dr. Shaheed.
