Many believe that Dr. Hassan Saeed, former Attorney General, who resigned from the government citing government obstruction to his reform work, may not join any political party. Dr. Hassan Saeed resigned from the government in August last year saying that Reform Agenda of President Gayoom has failed.
With his resignation from the President Gayoom’s cabinet many thought Dr. Hassan Saeed may join the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). However to this day he has not joined any of the political party in operation in Maldives, preferring to pursue his political ambitions under the umbrella of the New Maldives Movement of which he is a founder member.
Many are puzzled as to why New Maldives Movement operated by former Ministers, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, Mohamed Jameel and Dr. Hassan Saeed is not being changed to a political party. Many wonder under which party Dr. Hassan would compete in the elections or whether he would compete as an independent candidate. Miadhu has obtained the answer to these questions from a very reliable source.
According to the source Dr. Hassan Saeed is not inclined to join any party. It is believed that he would compete as an independent candidate and win the elections. Many believe that he may succeed in achieving his target provided he puts enough effort in to it.
There are many reasons for him not joining any political party, which includes loosing support of his supporters in the Dhivehi Rahyithunge Party (DRP) if he join with Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and that the belief that he may get support from all the parties if he come out as an independent candidate.
It may be possible for Dr. Hassan to get support form parties especially DRP but political analysts believe that he can only reach the top of the ladder by operating under a political party.
“Perhaps he may be thinking, as an independent candidate he can get the support of the opposition parties, but I don’t believe that MDP votes will be divided as opposed to Adhaalath or DRP” said an independent middle aged man.
“It would be best if Dr. Hassan joins MDP, but according to my information he intends to run as an independent candidate” said a young man from Feydhoo.
