Might have to leave coalition unless proper campaign activities are launched: Adhaalath Party

Adhaalath Party has said that they might have to leave President Dr Mohamed Waheed’s ‘Forward with the Nation’ coalition unless proper campaign activities for the coalition are launched.

A senior official of Adhaalath Party told Sun Online on the condition of anonymity, that this was discussed at a meeting of the party council held at 21:00 last night.

“Some members who participated in the meeting expressed discontent over the manner in which campaign activities are being carried out, and said that a solution must be sought to this problem. They also proposed leaving the coalition unless this problem is solved. But no decisions were made at tonight’s meeting,” the official told Sun Online last night.

He said that it was also decided at the secret meeting that information regarding this matter would officially be provided to the media by President of Adhaalath Party Imran Abdullah.

Sun has tried several times to reach Imran Abdullah by phone, with no success.

Of late, some senior members of Adhaalath Party have shared their discontent with various groups, regarding the activities of the coalition.

The party has not officially decided to leave the coalition yet.

‘Forward with the Nation’ coalition consists of Adhaalath Party, President Waheed’s Gaumee Itthihad Party (GIP), his Vice Presidential Candidate Ahmed Thasmeen Ali’s Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP), and Special Advisor to the President Dr Hassan Saeed’s Gaumee Party.
