Former Attorney General and one time head of the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Dr Mohamed Munawar has denounced his successor and current national President Mohamed Nasheed for holding back important reforms he says are needed in the country.
Miadhu reported that Munawar last night called for the end of Nasheed’s tenure during the first meeting at Dhaarubaaruge of the newly formed political party, the Maldives Reform Movement (MRM), which he currently leads.
Munawar claimed that in order to bring unspecified reforms to the country, it was important to ensure that the president did not remain in office until the 2013 general election when his position is officially set to be contested.
According to the paper, the MRM leader was especially critical at what he saw as a lack of respect by the government for the rule of law and its failure to uphold constitutional rights.
