Male' - According to official sources, the Maldivian Democratic Party's presidential candidates will be taking part in two live debates next month. The first one is schedule for 2nd April and is organised by Media Association in conjunction with other media groups, such as DhiFM Radio, Jazeera and Haama Daily newspapers.
The second debate will be on 23rd April, which is organised by DhiFM Radio group. In a meeting held on Thursday, the main issue of discussion is that despite requests from media groups, the Dictator is unwilling to give the candidates any television exposure.
The TVM, run by Kutti Nasheed, is refusing to agree to cover these two debates. Another clear sign that the Maldives Dictator is unable to digest the basic elements of free election and campaigning. MDP and the organisers of these debates are now looking into buying airtime from satellite broadcasting channels.
