President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has stated that the overwhelming majority of the parliament being won by ruling PNC makes the stand of the people clear to the entire world.

Speaking at a ceremony to celebrate the victory of the parliamentary elections at Artificial Beach on Monday, the President said it would now be clear to outsiders and opposition parties working on a particular agenda that the Maldives is a proud and freedom-loving nation.

“I am very sure that the outside world who are watching these things in the Maldives will now understand what the people of the Maldives want,” he said.

The President said the election is now over and he wants to leave political differences behind and move forward with the country. He said everyone should be proud to develop this country and everyone will be happy if everyone moves forward together.

He said the past should be left in the past and the aim of today should be to rebuild the country by reviving friendship among the society, strengthening families and friendships, and neighborly relations.

“Everyone should renew their determination to ensure our independence and be proud of their country,” he said.
