Solih: Elections being synchronized because Muizzu can only win in 2028 by combining them

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has condemned the government's efforts to synchronize presidential and parliamentary elections, describing it as a dangerous attempt to usurp the powers of the people. Alleging that the move lacks sincerity and is a politically motivated maneuver disguised as a cost-cutting measure, Solih urged the public to vote "no" against the government's proposal in the upcoming referendum on the matter.
