When Hassan Saeed called for a unity government and made it the number one promise of his presidential bid, we are seeing divided opinions on the matter from bloggers, journalists and politicians as well. From what I have seen, many have either misunderstood Hassan’s concept or they are purposely trying to misguide others.
First of all, his call for a unity government while being an independent candidate is not an indication that he doesn’t favor a multi-party system. He is simply arguing that we are lacking capable personals to run and manage six or ten political parties, and hence any individual party can not be trusted to govern the country all by themselves. It hasn’t been long since these political parties were formed. In this short period we have seen many unsettled politicians shifting parties and their loyalty. In my opinion these so called politicians have a lot to learn yet and parties have a lot to achieve. Almost all of these parties are formed and run around one strong figure. These parties don’t have enough capable people to manage even the intra-party affairs. So how can we form a competent cabinet from a single party?
Before we saw a strong MDP capable of governing the country alone, but today we are seeing a lot of strong figures leaving MDP and the party is not like what it used to be. While acknowledging Anni’s great sacrifices and hard work to bring reform and democracy to our beloved nation, I also note that he has not been able to show us a team of politicians in whom we can trust to govern our country alone. Even Anni might have thought the same thing, when he declared that he was even ready to become a running mate of someone who is not from MDP.
Therefore Hassan’s proposal is not destructive to a multi-party system, but rather it will help to enhance the multi-party system. A unity government will give the much needed time for political parties to become politically and intellectually more mature and to identify real leaders. We need unity among all pro reform parties to deliver the Maldivians a smooth and happy transition period. Let us give more time to our political parties and potential leaders to emerge fully and stand on their own feet. The last thing we need now is rumors and lies that can damage a potential alliance between Anni and Hassan to form a national unity government.

good article with lots of logic.my vote goes in favoure of hassan saeed after reading this. because the reason for hassans reluctance to form a party and annis strange desire to become his vise were some of the questions going through my mind.
And one more reason. Hassan Saeed and Shaheed hid the truth behind the brutal murder of Hussain Salah...One more reason to vote for Hassan...
this is also a misleading article. anni invited hassan saeed to form an alliance with MDP. In such an alliance a unity government could have been formed. but hassan also wants to be a candidate and rejected it. Tell us what is better? A unity government that Hassan without a party can form, or a unity government that is formed by MDP and anybody else that comes into this coalition. Only Dr Waheed sensed this and went for a coalition with MDP. Can we trust Dr Hassan to bring politicians from different parties together? remember he was the one who said "There will be only one party in Maldives and that is DRP". the root problem is Dr hassan wants to have all powers under him.
anni invited Hassan to form an alliance in which hassan was asked to be the head and anni his Deputy. so hassan would have had all the power he needed..but hassan has refused. we dont know why.. but like the author of this blog said , annis reason for asking hassan must be because Anni believed hassan is capable of something.. i personally dont mind anni becoming the president of this country.. but its the people with him in MDP that we cant trust.. o common. no sane person should trust people like Zaki and the likes..and also at present in MDP, except for 2 or 3, thers no one even capable of holding a cabinet position.. all capable people have left MDP for various reasons.

if you think the only people in MDP are people like zaki then you are mistaken. respected and reputed people like dr abdul sathar yoosuf have shown their support to MDP by accompanying the MDP delegation to Baa Atoll. New people are joining MDP based on their sound policies and changes in direction. MDP can get a much better team to run this country than Dr Hassan (there will be only one party and that is DRP) or Dr Shaheed (Being a Friday people just gathered)
truth of the matter is mdp doesn't have qualified people. perhaps mariya and waheed. mdp will prove to be a party of terror as we saw in france. we saw all those so-called shadow cabinets and the people there. a party of kids. let's wait and see...
