MDP Presidential Candidate President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih says some of his political opponents are always talking about personal matters as the Presidential campaigning heats up across the country.

The President made his comments in the address to the residents of Noonu Atoll Manadhoo while on a campaign tour to the Atoll.

President Solih said that for every election, MDP compiles a manifesto and goes on to fulfill the pledges within the manifesto.

He mentioned that his political opponents are unveiling their own pledges and policies and some are just talking about personal matters, adding that they do nothing but this.

The President said that some politicians change their tones constantly. He described that some politicians just say what is in their minds when they wake up in the morning and completely change their tone come the evening.

He joked that people who believe things they see in their dreams as realities must first wake up from their slumber and that you can only serve the country when awake.

President Solih, who is seeking re-election in September, mentioned the policies by PNC Candidate Male' City Mayor Mohamed Muizzu who said that under his administration the government would prioritize developing islands with a bigger populations and said that this was the difference between the opposition's government and his own administration.

He said that the country is lagging behind in development because of the mentality of developing the islands with bigger population and that he would bring development to the islands regardless of their sizes.
