Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, Aishath Nahula has said that works to delay the upcoming Parliamentary Election is unacceptable, no matter who is behind it.

In a Tweet sent out on Thursday, the Minister said that regardless of who works towards delaying the election, it was important to hold it as scheduled. The Parliamentary Election is currently scheduled to be held on Saturday.

“Works to delay the coming election is unacceptable regardless of who is behind it. I call on the authorities to hold the election as scheduled, and I do not doubt that the coalition government would be able to win the majority,” Minister Nahula said.

While the election comes closer, speculations have been rife that Qasim Ibrahim and PPM are working together to delay the election through a court verdict.

Elections Commission has also expressed their concern over the issue, and had previously stated that they will work their best to hold the election as scheduled until last minute.
