Economic Minister Fayyaz Ismail, who is competing for MDP's chairperson post, says those who join MDP from other parties can also climb higher at the party.
In a ceremony held in Shaviyani Milandhoo to launch his campaign, Minister Fayyaz said that those who join MDP from other parties will be given the opportunity to succeed at MDP.
Fayyaz said that the party has failed to fully utilize its female members and youth members in policymaking and noted that he will prioritize bringing out women to the political arena.
He also said that if he is elected as chairperson, he will expand the role of youth members in the party and make sure that the party's technical committees are also given enough responsibilities.
He said that in the last three years, several issues have surfaced within the party and assured that he would make sure that the party overcomes the issues if he is elected as chairperson.
Fayyaz also said that he will carry out his campaign with the utmost dignity and that he would not resort to ridiculing or insulting another for campaign purposes.
The Minister also highlighted that for MDP to win next year's presidential election, the party has to work hard and that he was prepared to give it all for the party.
