Government Spokesperson Mohamed Hussain Shareef (Mundhu) has stated that the living standards of the general public will improve within the next two and a half years, before the conclusion of President Mohamed Muizzu’s current term.
Speaking on a program aired by Public Service Media (PSM) last night, Shareef assured that citizens would witness positive changes that meet their expectations over the coming two and a half years.
"God willing, within the next two and a half years, the people will see results regarding their personal lives that will truly make them happy," Shareef said during the state broadcaster's 'Raajje Miadhu' program.
Shareef’s pledge of significant progress before the end of the presidential term follows a major setback for the government in recent polls, including a referendum where the public overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to hold the presidential and parliamentary elections on the same day.
The spokesperson further noted that the completion of various development projects would soon become visible to everyone.
"God willing, our efforts will accelerate. You will witness development projects being successfully completed right before your eyes," he added.
Shareef also highlighted that the public could expect relief regarding utility bills and other expenses within the next two and a half years.
"Overall, the general situation—whether it be our financial prosperity, the cost of goods, or the bills every Maldivian has to pay—will see tangible relief," Shareef said.
In the recent local council elections, the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) secured mayoral seats in all five cities, maintained majorities in city councils, and won the majority of island council presidencies and seats.
