The Progressive Coalition is to host a feast for the public to mark the Majlis elections success, according to local media outlet Vnews.
Speaking in a press conference held in Progressive Party of Maldives offices in Janavaree magu, President’s Office Spokesperson Ibrahim Muaz Ali stated that the feast, titled ‘Shukuriyyaa Gaumu’ or ‘Thank you, Nation’, was part of the festivities to mark their success in the parliamentary elections.
Muaz added that senior officials of the Coalition partners will participate in the feast. He also said that the Coalition had invited members of opposition Maldivian Democratic Party.
The Progressive Coalition won a total of 53 of the 85 Majlis seats being contested on March 22, with the subsequent addition of 4 more MPs-elect swelling the number to 57.
It is not surprising that the coalition leaders must thank the nation with feasts and firework displays for having giving them majority in the parliament while 60 islands of the 200+ islands of the country are in need of palatable water for the people to drink!!!!
