Malé, Maldives – President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on Friday denied the allegations of adultery levelled at him by Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed.
Spokesperson of the President’s Office Mabrook Azeez stated last night that President Solih assures Nasheed’s allegations are baseless.
President addressed this following media coverage of a leaked WhatsApp group conversation of ruling party MDP, with the Speaker alleging that he had received photographs of President Solih having sexual relations.
This new development comes after Speaker Nasheed’s brother was arrested regarding same-sex relations on Thursday. Police arrested three high-profile individuals regarding leaked videos portraying same-sex sexual relations, including prominent lawyer and Nasheed’s brother Ahmed Nazim, former MP for Nolhivaramfaru constituency Mohamed Nasheed (Colonel) and a police officer belonging to the Drug Enforcement Department Abdul Rahman Rafeeu.
Nazim was remanded to custody for 7 days while the others have been remanded for 15 days.
In addition, former Raajje TV journalist Abdulla Naseer was also arrested for homosexual relations on Friday.
