MDP led alliance is confident of wining - Anni

Mohamed Nasheed (Anni) former chairperson of Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has said that an MDP led alliance is confident of defeating President Gayoom in the forthcoming presidential elections and that he can already see 70,000 votes being received. He made the statement speaking at primary campaign rally held at Fuvahmulah last night.

Speaking at the rally in Fuvahmulah, Anni said that President Gayoom for the last 30 years had used his third hand to accomplish anything and everything and that this third hand can be seen as President Gayoom’s campaign logo. He said that it will be easy for MDP led alliance to win the presidential race against a person who has sustained his rule by utilizing the third hand. He further provided examples of how 70,000 votes will be received.

Anni said that the most important thing MDP led alliance should do to win the presidential election is to give love and respect to DRP members and other people who have yet not joined any party. In addition Anni said the DRP is the party which strived hard to introduce the democratic system of government and that the world has yet to see a democratic system where the party leader automatically becomes the presidential candidate without having to compete in a primary.

As part of his primary campaign Anni last Sunday night held a rally in Hithadhoo of Addu atoll as well.
