Preventing the Parliament is not beneficial for the nation: Alhan

MDP Vice President Alhan Fahmee has said that the way to hold an early election is by allowing the Parliament to reconvene, and preventing the Parliament from holding its meetings is not beneficial to the nation.

Alhan told Sun after a meeting with President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik that the Constitution must be amended in order to hold an early election. President Waheed agrees with this fact, which is also being reiterated by political parties.

Alhan said that the President is not strictly against holding an early election.

“I think the best way now is to resolve this issue from within the Parliament. I don’t think it is the best thing for the nation, to keep the Parliament closed,” MDP Vice President and Feydhoo MP Alhan said.

He declined to disclose the issues discussed with the President today, saying that doing so may interfere with the outcome.

He however said that President Waheed indicated that an early election can only be held by completing the roadmap, and that he called for the cooperation of all MPs.
