Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has stated that the incumbent, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, will not pose a threat to him in the 2028 presidential election. Yameen argued that this is because the public has already withdrawn their support for President Muizzu.
During a People's National Front (PNF) rally held on Sunday night, a journalist asked former President Abdulla Yameen whether he believed the allegations against President Muizzu should be investigated. Responding to the question, President Yameen stated that while the matters must be investigated, there is no reason to imprison President Muizzu.
The public is already refusing to grant him their votes. Therefore, there is no justification for keeping him in prison under the pretense that his presidential candidacy poses a threat to other contenders.President Yameen
During the gathering, President Yameen heavily criticized the government. He specifically condemned and countered the remarks made by senior PNC leadership during their party rally on Saturday night.
President Yameen stated that these individuals were never among his close associates. He specifically noted that figures such as PNC Parliamentary Group Leader Ibrahim Falah and Baarashu MP Ibrahim Shujau had never been close to him, asserting that their loyalty always lay with former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.
Furthermore, during the gathering, President Yameen responded to remarks made at a PNC rally regarding his wife, Fathimath Ibrahim. He stated that a close relationship with one's spouse is not something to be ashamed of, noting that the foundation of a family is built upon such a bond.
During the gathering, President Yameen heavily criticized and launched a scathing verbal attack against the Speaker of the People’s Majlis, Abdul Raheem Abdulla, in response to his recent remarks.
