The government has no animosity towards Jumhoree Party (JP) despite its members voting in favour of taking secret votes, President’s Office Spokesperson Abbas Adil Riza has said.
Although JP members voted in line with the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), the government perceived it as JP’s policy, Abbas said.
Both MDP and JP party members voted in favour of taking secret votes on the no confidence motion against President Mohamed Waheed Hassan and cabinet members in parliament.
“As you know during the time of special parliament Gasim supported to take a secret ballot to elect a parliament speaker. That was in 2004. That is his view on the matter.
“The president says that the government has no animosity toward the way the leader of JP voted or MP’s voted,” Abbas said.
Abbas stressed that the transport minister’s portfolio is still reserved for JP, as the party is still part of the coalition government.
JP Vice President Ameen Ibrahim has been nominated for the post after Dr Ahmed Shamheed was dismissed from his transport minister position.
Human Rights Minister Dhiyana Saeed was also dismissed from her post yesterday.
