PETITION DEMADING FAIR REPRESENTATION AS PER CAMPAIGN PROMISES,
The People Majlis
Members of Peoples Majlis for Addu Atoll
Mr.Mohamed Aslam.
Mr.Ibrahim Shareef.
We have elected you to represent us in the People’s Majlis with high hopes. Neither of you indicated any affiliation to a Political Party during your campaign. Mr.Aslam has specifically mentioned that he was approached by Maldivian Democratic Party but that he did not accept the offer and that he intends to be an Independent.
Since your election, both of you have joined the MDP. Although some of us who voted for you may have reservations for this action, some do not as some of us belong to MDP while others are with Adhaalath or DRP. Some are still undecided. If it justifies your own conscience that after having being elected as Independent, joining a certain Political Party which may be against the wishes of some of your supporter is the right thing.
We are concerned that you have brought the Party line into the Parliament. As individuals we accept your decisions to join a certain party, but we do not believe that you have any right to choose a certain party line against the belief’s of even a single voter who voted for you. Inside parliament, it is your sacred duty to act as an Independent as that is how you got elected, through votes of people who clearly did not agree to MDP policies even at the time of election.
We are extremely disappointed to find both the chairs representing Addu Atoll being vacant today when the Majlis was inaugurated for 2006. From the other members who were absent, it is apparent that the absence were all MDP members and it is likely planned.
As a person who both of you, or either one of you, the following signatories demand that the Members representing us either change your policies in the Parliament by representing us, or resign to pave way for a by election where you can very well be elected if your policies are supported by the Majority. We will respect any decision you take after that on the platform you are elected.
