Former Home Minister Umar Naseer has expressed doubts about the current government's ability to secure a second term, whether or not former President Abdulla Yameen remains imprisoned.
In a recent interview with a Maldivian media outlet, Umar highlighted Yameen's continued popularity in the political landscape despite legal challenges.
Umar also criticized the government's approach to the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) corruption scandal, claiming that their efforts to investigate the issue are insufficient. He suggested that the government is more focused on imprisoning President Yameen than addressing broader concerns.
Additionally, Umar criticized the government's foreign policy, accusing it of compromising Maldivian independence through a close alliance with India. He expressed disappointment with the government's failure to fulfill campaign promises, particularly regarding the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from the Maldives.
Umar suggested that those who voted for the current administration feel betrayed due to these unfulfilled promises and policy missteps.
His comments come amid increasing political tensions in the Maldives, as the government faces criticism over its handling of key political figures and issues affecting national sovereignty.
