Speaker of the People's Majlis Abdul Raheem Abdulla (Adhurey) has stated that members of the ruling PNC cannot be divided by creating discord and strife.

Adhurey made this statement in a post on X, in response to an article published by "Adhadhu" newspaper under the headline, "PNC Senate rejects a proposal by President Muizzu, diminishing his influence."

The article stated that at a time when rumors of President Muizzu's popularity declining among the public are intensifying, major changes have also begun to occur within the internal dynamics of the PNC.

The article also noted that some senior members of the PNC had informed Adhadhu newspaper that the Senate did not support a proposal submitted by President Muizzu at a recent PNC Senate meeting, which aimed to grant full authority to the leadership to manage all arrangements for the upcoming PNC Congress and to make decisions as the leadership sees fit.

Regarding the contents of that article in Adhadhu newspaper, Adhurey stated in his post that the claims are completely contrary to the truth.

He also stated that the party's president, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, did not submit any proposal from the chair for the meeting to decide a matter in a particular way.

"PNC is a party run on the beautiful principles of democracy. We cannot be divided by creating discord and strife. We stand steadfast with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu," Adhurey said.

PNC Parliamentary Group Leader and Member of Parliament for the Inguraidhoo constituency, Ibrahim Falah, also stated that the claims in the article are a lie.

In his post, Falah stated that nothing that President Muizzu does not desire will happen within the PNC Senate or its leadership.

"We all love President Muizzu much more than that, and we all trust him much more. Even though this is the case, President Muizzu always prioritizes the party’s charter, established regulations, and the fine practice of consultation. President Muizzu did not propose to do a specific thing in a specific way during the recently concluded PNC Senate meeting. Throughout the entire meeting, everything was presented to be decided in whichever way the Senate members saw fit," Falah said.
