Malé, Maldives – Former President and Current Speaker of the Parliament Mohamed Nasheed on Thursday, said that creating a coalition government consisting of MDP and PPM is the best thing for the country and MDP itself, at the moment.
Speaker Nasheed expressed his thoughts in a message to MDP members today. Nasheed stated that he wants to request Former President and leader of the opposition Abdullah Yameen Abdul Gayyoom for help in creating a PPM/MDP coalition.
Stating that some MDP and PPM members misunderstood his previous message, Nasheed said that certain changes are to be brought to PPM and that these changes should be advocating against India out policy, supporting the bill on amendments to criminalize hate crimes and should come to an agreement on music.
