The MDA president further assured President Dr. Muizzu will fulfill the pledges he made to the public, noting the current head of state was capable enough to fill his presidential responsibilities.

"There are several who are willing to finance the president's vision. He is strengthening ties with all foreign allies, not just any single ally," Siyam said.

Siyam further said he personally experienced working alongside Dr. Muizzu, which was the primary reason MDA decided to ally with PPM/PNC coalition during the run-off election.

"... That is why we can ascertain his speed, and decision-making approach," Siyam said.

Besides this, Siyam had announced the primary requirement of Meedhoo locals during the rally on Tuesday evening, notifying the island was in need of housing. He requested development of row houses at the vacant plots in Dhaalu atoll Meedhoo, Bandidhoo, Rinbudhoo, and Hulhudheli.
