The opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) yesterday (February 4) said that most statements made by President Mohamed Muizzu during his presidential addresses are lies.
At a press conference ahead of this year's presidential address, MDP MPs explained the government's failure to fulfil promises and targets mentioned in the past two presidential addresses.
"When we studied the past two presidential addresses, his claims and promises about nationalism, economy, Islam, culture, inflation, and other topics were all lies. All lies to deceive the people,” Kendhoo MP Mauroof Zakir said.
Sharing statistics on the unfulfilled promises, MDP Chairperson and Hanimaadhoo MP Abdul Ghafoor Moosa said 90 percent of the promises were not fulfilled and said an explanation must be given at the third presidential address.
The MDP has said it will attend the People's Majlis opening session today (February 5), during which President Mohamed Muizzu will deliver his third presidential address since coming to power in 2023.
