Main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) would never rule the Maldives again, top government lawmaker Riyaz Rasheed said Tuesday insisting that incumbent president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom would secure re-election in 2018.
At the second rally of President Yameen's re-election campaign initiated by First Lady Fathimath Ibrahim, Riyaz said that the MDP government had left the country's economy in a dire state.
He said that those days are past, and that the economy has found a secure state once more, and that PPM will defeat MDP which aims to bring back it's destructive reign in the 2018 elections.
He insisted that the Maldivian people must not allow MDP to come to power again.
"Our team has saved the people of Maldives from the horrifying experience of four years past, and we will save Maldives again by winning the election in 2018. We will not allow MDP to come to power again. We, the people, will not allow it to happen again," Riyaz said.
He said that president Yameen's government had engineered unprecedented development, wiped out the dollar shortage and opened the country to new and beneficial trade options without selling any national assets.
