The ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) is now more audible and vocal after Ahmed Abdulla joined the party, MDP's Chairperson Mariya Ahmed Didi said.
Abdulla, who served the government of the ex-President Gayoom as Minister of Health, Minister of Information and Minister of Environment, Energy and Water, joined the MDP last week, in a glittering ceremony held on the Artificial Beach of Male. Members of Parliament Alhan Fahmy and Abdul Ghafoor also joined the MDP during the ceremony, providing the party a narrow majority in the parliament.
"In recent months, MDP has been criticized for lethargy and inactivity. By bringing Ahmed Abdulla into our party, we hope to energize the party and make it more audible. He will make MDP's voice louder and make sure the party's voice is distinct from other political parties in the Maldives. He will make MDP's voice heard among the Maldivian people," Mariya said.
"Ahmed Abdulla is a seasoned politician. I am confident MDP members will welcome his voice at party rallies more enthusiastically. He will give a boost to the already distinct voice of our Chairperson Mariya Didi," said Reeko Moosa, the party's Parliamentary Group Leader, complimenting Abdulla, who was in the Republican Party before.
