Report: Soodh
MDP Executive Council member Husnu Al Suood has stated that it is high time MDP chose a presidential candidate for the coming elections scheduled for next year. He also noted that failure to do so may cause divisions within the party.
Speaking to Velidhoo News last night Suood said that choosing process of a presidential candidate in any party causes divisions and it will be the time when the party would be most weak.
“Thinking on these lines, I’ve said that if we delay the process especially if the candidate is chosen too close to election date, then the party might face huge complications at the last minute” said Suood.
Suood further said that if MDP does not choose its presidential candidate soon, then the party would be divided with each leading member forming his own group. He noted that he can already see signs of such divisions.
“The need to choose a presidential candidate now is that it will allow the party, time to unite before going to elections, if we do it now then we can achieve the target” said Suood.
Velidhoo News has learnt that MDP members are criticizing the party for its inability to decide on a leader.
When asked why the party is prolonging the issue he replied that MDP was evolved on a parliamentary system of government and that the rules of procedure governing the party was based on the principles of a parliamentary system and to make a decision before the referendum of the system of government may prove futile.
“However, now that we know which system will be in force, it would be best for MDP to choose a presidential candidate” said Suood.
