FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Maldives has suffered a political deadlock since February 7 when opposition activists supported by the police and the military overthrew Mohamed Nasheed, the first democratically elected president of the Indian Ocean archipelago.
“The government will hold discussions with political parties to hold elections at an early date,” Waheed’s spokesman Imad Masoud said on Thursday in the capital Male.
“The government will work towards creating conditions that will permit such early elections to take place… if necessary the government will consider any constitutional amendments that need to be made,” he added.
Waheed had planned to form a national unity government and hold scheduled poll by late 2013 — a proposal that was rejected by Nasheed, who constantly called for election to be held as early as possible.
Police issued an arrest warrant on February 9 for Nasheed but have yet to carry out the order.
Since Nasheed lost his presidency, he has continued speaking to the media from his modest home in central Male, capital of the 1,200-island nation of 330,000 Muslims.
Nasheed has alleged that his resignation was in fact a coup at gunpoint, engineered by a clique of police, military and political rivals. His resignation brought thousands of supporters onto the streets of the small island nation, renowned as a holidaymakers’ paradise.
