MP for Addu Atoll as well as Member of DRP Parliamentary Group Ibrahim Shahreef has said that if Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) comes under the control of those members working for reform then he would take the party very seriously. MP Shareef was formally a key MDP member who later joined DRP.
MP Shareef speaking to Miadhu Daily said that he resigned from MDP due to pressures of the former chairperson of the party. He said it was almost impossible to work for reform with such pressures and if MDP ever comes under the control of those MDP members who still sincerely work for reform he would take the party seriously.
“I resigned from MDP as I believed that I could not make any valuable contribution towards reform due to excessive pressures from the then chairperson of the party Mohamed Nasheed (Anni), If I see a different picture for example if those reform oriented members of MDP take charge of that party then I will take the party very seriously” said MP Shareef.
He further said that the current President of MDP Dr. Mohamed Munavvar was a capable and farsighted leader with a sound political vision. He also said under Dr. Munavvar’s leadership MDP has seen favorable changes but that Anni still tries to exert his influence.
“Current MDP leader is a strong and a capable leader, under his leadership MDP has seen many favorable changes, however we can still see Anni exerting his influence” said Shareef.
In addition Shareef pointed out that activists, revolutionary leaders and reform leaders are 3 separate groups of people. He said Dr. Munavvar was a political leader working to introduce democratic reform to the country.
Anni and Dr. Munavvar are both competing in the MDP primaries to win the presidential nomination.
Speaking to Miadhu Daily MP Shareef did not specifically rule out joining MDP altogether. However he criticized Anni’s attempts to exert influence over the party and called it undemocratic.
