We are starting a historic journey in Dhihdhoo to usher a new era of people power and justice in the Maldives said Dr. Munavvar MDP President at the launching ceremony of his campaign for MDP primaries to elect a candidate for contesting in the upcoming presidential election.
Dr. Munavvar speaking to a large crowd in Dhihdhoo said that he is contesting in the primaries in the hope to become MDP presidential candidate and if the people elect him as the new president of the country, he will structure the government in such a way to give real power to the people and serve them faithfully to ensure better and a dignified life for them.
Dr. Munavvar said the revised constitution will provide much freedom and rights for the people and he will make sure that he will be a servant of the people in translating the provisions of the constitution and the rights of the people in to action and he will be committed to discharge that duty diligently.
Dr. Munavvar said one of the big challenges faced by the people is to end the rule of President Gayoom and usher in a new leadership which will truly represent and serve the people. He said that he has chosen “your servant“as the theme of his campaign because people are the real power and the president is their servant.
Dr. Munavvar expressed concern about the lack of sincerity of President Gayoom in bringing the reform he has promised which the MDP and many others spearheaded and that is the reason of the freedom and rights Maldivians are enjoying today. He said President Gayoom has not been true to his promise and ideals of reform as he has announced he will be the presidential candidate for DRP contradicting his words and sprit of reform. The fact that he has announced to stand for re election severely undermines the objective of reform as he has himself announced in the reform program that the presidential terms will be restricted to maximum of two terms.
MDP president also said that MDP and others struggling and sacrificing for reform is confident of victory and winning the presidency even if Mr. Gayoom contests. But he said there is no legal ground for Mr. Gayoom or anyone to serve as president for more than two terms under the revised constitution.
Munavvaru pointed out that President Gayoom has been telling repeatedly that MDP and other opposition parties are afraid of competing him for fear of defeat. But Dr. Munavvar said they have no fear or doubts of standing in the election and defeating Mr. Gayoom.
Munvvar mentioned it is rather a matter of conscience and principle. It is against the fundamentals of the revised constitution. Therefore we will do everything to challenge him and to prevent him from contesting, if necessary the Supreme Court will make the ultimate decision if he does not respect the constitution.
Munavvar said that the pulse of the Maldivians are felt everywhere and they are eagerly waiting for change of leadership and system that will protect their rights and provide them with a meaningful life.
