The Chairperson of the People’s National Congress (PNC) and Speaker of the People’s Majlis, Abdul Raheem Abdulla, has declared that the party remains unified and cannot be divided through the incitement of discord. He reaffirmed that the party stands firm in its support for President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.
In response to media reports claiming that the PNC Senate had rejected a proposal by President Muizzu and diminished his influence, Abdul Raheem dismissed the allegations, stating they are categorically false.
Abdul Raheem stated that President Muizzu, in his capacity as the party's president, has not issued any directives to the parliamentary group regarding specific decisions. He further emphasized that the PNC is a party governed by sound democratic principles.
Furthermore, Abdul Raheem stated that the people cannot be divided through the creation of discord and strife, affirming their unwavering commitment to standing firm alongside President Muizzu.
While Abdul Raheem denied these claims, reports citing senior PNC members suggest that during a recent Senate meeting, President Muizzu proposed granting the party leadership full authority to oversee all arrangements for the upcoming party congress and to make decisions at their discretion. However, the President's proposal reportedly failed to secure majority support from the Senate. Instead, the Senate decided that rather than granting exclusive power to the leadership, a special committee should be formed to ensure the participation of general members in the decision-making process for the congress.
Consequently, it has been noted that this marks the first time a proposal by President Muizzu has failed to gain approval.
