In a social media post on Saturday, VP Hussain said President Dr.Muizzu's government was brought about by the collective effort and participation of many citizens, including himself.

“This is the result of the tireless efforts of you, the citizens,” the vice president said.

Hussain said the people voted for President Muizzu for his vision. He emphasized his unwavering commitment to prioritizing the interests of the Maldivian people.

"Therefore, I pledge my support to him in ensuring that this government becomes truly beneficial for the welfare of the people," said Hussain, who is also a close associate of President Yameen.

Numerous individuals, including cabinet ministers, high-ranking government officials, and supporters of Dr. Muizzu, are speaking up and actively defending the President during this period.
