The MP-elect for Fonadhoo, Abdulraheem Abdulla, expressed his commitment to foster a cooperative relationship with President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu should he assume the role of Speaker of the Parliament.
Abdulraheem’s statement came following President Muizzu’s nomination of him for the Speaker’s seat of the 20th parliamentary assembly. The nomination occurred during a recent meeting at Muliaage, attended by top officials from state-owned enterprises and parliamentary MP-elects from the Progressive National Congress (PNC).

In an interview on PSM News Thursday evening, Abdulraheem underscored the significant public support garnered by President Muizzu in the recent parliamentary elections. He emphasized that this support played a pivotal role in securing a super-majority for the PNC in parliament, indicating a strong endorsement of the party’s agenda by the electorate.
Regarding potential tensions between the executive and parliamentary members, Abdulraheem expressed confidence that such situations would be avoided under President Muizzu’s leadership. He attributed past conflicts to communication breakdowns between the president, ministers, and parliamentary members, stressing the importance of open channels for dialogue.
Highlighting President Muizzu’s proactive approach to party affairs, Abdulraheem reassured that communication lines with the PNC’s parliamentary group remain open. He expressed optimism that the 20th parliamentary assembly would operate smoothly, with a steadfast focus on delivering on electoral promises.
The PNC’s parliamentary representation stands at 75 members, granting the party a super-majority status. Among these, 66 members were originally from the PNC, with an additional eight independent candidates who have since aligned with the party.
The oath-taking ceremony for MP-elects is scheduled for next Tuesday, followed by a discreet voting process to elect the parliament’s Speaker and Vice Speaker.
