Three WAMCO employees in Thinadhoo who supported an MDP candidate, transferred to other islands
Prior to their transfer, these employees were summoned to the office over allegations of campaigning against the government, an action the public perceives as a politically motivated attempt at workplace intimidation.

Three employees of the Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) who expressed support for the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) candidate have been transferred to different islands.
RaajjeMV has obtained the official notices sent by WAMCO to three employees regarding their transfers. According to these documents, the staff members transferred from the WAMCO site in Thinadhoo to other islands are Ali Nabith Mohamed (Havana, GDh. Thinadhoo), Mohamed Solih Ahmed (Madoshimaage, GDh. Thinadhoo), and Mohamed Naif (Mahmaa Villa, GDh. Thinadhoo).
These three employees are active members of the campaign team for Saud Ali, the Mayor of Thinadhoo, who is currently contesting for re-election on the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) ticket.
Among those transferred to the HDh. Kulhudhuffushi site is Ali Nabith Mohamed, who previously served as a cashier at the Thinadhoo site. Mohamed Naif, who held the position of Senior Operations Officer at the Thinadhoo site, has also been reassigned to the Kulhudhuffushi site.
Furthermore, Mohamed Solih Ahmed, who served as the site supervisor for Thinadhoo, has been transferred to the Ihavandhoo site in Haa Alifu Atoll.
A reliable source has informed RaajjeMV that prior to their transfers, the employees were summoned to the company’s office and accused of campaigning against the government. However, it is understood that the formal warning notices issued to them contained different allegations. The employees reportedly refused to sign the documents, as the notices accused them of attempting to incite hatred among the workforce.
Reports are emerging of employees being dismissed, demoted, or forcibly transferred after expressing their refusal to vote for candidates from the ruling PNC or declaring support for MDP candidates. The public has criticized these actions, condemning such pressures as an attempt to exert undue political influence.
