Former President and PPM President Maumoon Abdul Qayoom has stated that he had no political motive in introducing the reform agenda aimed at resolving the many issues that plague PPM.
In a tweet posted this evening, Maumoon said the "PPM reform agenda is just that. No political motives are behind it", adding that he wanted to ensure that party rules and democratic values are respected and upheld.
Political infighting had spurred in PPM following the amendment to the Tourism Act, which had called for the lease of resorts without bidding. Maumoon had announced a reform agenda following this, stating that there were many issues in the Party and that he had intended to uphold PPM laws and democratic values.
He said there were many MPs who had refused to listen to his advice, adding that laws were passed without considering public interest and Party mandate.
He noted that he had worked to resolve these issues previously but had failed in that endeavor.
