Congratulating the members of the party, Abdul Raheem Abdulla said in a post on social media platform X that the polling results provide clear evidence of President Muizzu's increasing popularity among the public.
Parliament Speaker Abdul Raheem Abdulla stated last night that the results of the by-elections held on Saturday reflect the growing support for President Dr Mohamed Muizzu.
In the by-elections for six local council seats, ruling People's National Congress (PNC) secured five seats. Although the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) contested for these seats, they did not win any due to limited campaign efforts. The seat for the female councilor for Raa Atoll Rasmaadhoo Council was won by an independent candidate.
