Former MWSC chief Abdul Matheen has claimed that President Mohamed Muizzu has no realistic path to victory in the 2028 presidential election.

Matheen cited what he described as poor personal conduct and a lack of consistent policy direction. He specifically pointed to the administration’s management of the Rasmalé project as evidence of inconsistency.

Government officials and ruling-party figures have responded with verbal attacks against Matheen. The exchange reflects ongoing political polarisation around major development decisions.

The next presidential election is scheduled for 2028.
