Latheef said that the party will not do anything that would make things difficult for President Solih to run the country. He said that although elected as a coalition, the manifesto being used is that of MDP and that party is in full support of implementing.

Umaru said that President Solih is working to keep the coalition intact to stay alive politically while former President Nasheed is working to get out of the coalition and defeat President Solih.
