Not an obstacle for Pres Solih if MP Qasim runs for president: Miuwan

The Spokesperson at the President's Office, Miuwan Mohamed, said on Thursday that the Jumhooree Party's Leader, Qasim Ibrahim, running in the presidential election will not be an obstacle to President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.

Speaking at the weekly press conference held at the Presidential Office, Miuwan responded to a reporter's question by saying that if JP, a part of the current ruling coalition, brings forward a candidate for the presidential election, then President Solih would have discussions with both JP and its leader Qasim on how to move forward.
